6/15 Roadmap Update and a Tip: Scope Reduction

🚀

Hey Architects!

I'm traveling this week, we'll be back on with the lives next week.

Personal note: I'm really enjoying them and I'm learning a lot. It's amazing how much progress you can make on something if you do it consistently. I plan to continue them and turn them into the center piece of my content strategy. More on that soon.

I'll have content for you this week, the new SaaS Startup Guide is getting edited as we speak and should be in the classroom in the next day or two.

I've got several builds in the works: a new SaaS content system, a very dead-simple AI agent (like Hermes but way more simple to use), and some cool updates to Shockwave. All stuff I'll cover in the lives and the classroom.

Hint: Something hard to express that I'm learning with Claude Code and these AI tools is that it's easy to dream big. Practically building these tools is still quite difficult—if you try to make your app, project, or agent do "everything," it will become brittle and hard to update.

I've been learning that keeping focused on a more targeted avatar/client will make your app faster and easier to build.

AI enthusiasts
Busy businessmen
Solopreneurs vs. small business vs. enterprise

These are very different avatars, and they're likely looking for different products. If you can make something work really well and make it easy, I think it'll be easy to make money.

Take Openclaw and Hermes—these are cool tools, but they're built for a certain type of person: willing to tinker, work, learn, and solve problems. Something easier and less full-featured would be a good solution for many people.

Sit on that for a bit and learn how to reduce the scope of your projects to fit a more targeted avatar.

That's all for now.
