I solo founded a SaaS in 2019, on nights and weekends, while i was also working as a developer in another company in parallel.
Today i don't have a 9 to 5 job anymore, the platform works. Real customers pay for it every week and easily pay my old salary.
But I miss the days when I was debugging: Something was broken, I worked on it, and then it worked because of me.
Today most of the code is fixed and AI handles most of what is left, I even wrote the harness for AI to replace me. And I feel more and more useless on my own project.
Those are the periods I remember with pleasure. A team was stuck, I came in, and things started to work.
At this point, i should've found something else to do, a bigger problem to solve, but i feel kinda stuck.
My questions:
1. If AI now writes most of the code and manages tasks on your own product, where did you find the part of the work that still needs you?
2. How did you find the place where you were needed today?
