Recently, someone tried building an education platform using AI.
At first, it looked impressive. Features were coming in fast. Progress felt great.
But after a month, things changed. Every new update introduced more bugs than features.
The code started conflicting with itself. Lot of repeated codes. Timelines slipped. Control was lost.
Most business apps follow the same pattern: Add. Update. Delete. List.
And then comes the “list” screen with a data grid…which is often too basic to be useful.
No proper filtering, Limited sorting, Barely any control over data.
So what do users do? They export to Excel. If excel sheet make their workflow better then why should your product exist.
A friend told me he found a service offering website development for ₹500/month.
Sounds like a great deal, right? I told him not to go for it. Because here’s what usually happens with these models:
And the real cost shows up later:
I said “ You don’t save money.You just delay the expense.” He took the advice.

Mostly because of “free credits.” Honestly, that’s a trap.
At that stage, you don’t have a scaling problem. You have a customer acquisition problem. A simple VPS is more than enough:
But cloud platforms make you think like you’re building for millions…when you don’t even have your first 100 users.
A year ago, someone bought a restaurant POS from CodeCanyon.
They came to me for one key addition: reports. Sounds simple.Until I looked at the code.
The UI looked premium…But the data layer was a mess.
And that’s when it became clear: Building proper reports would cost more than what they paid for the entire software.
Recently, my friend Sagar Moudgal shared a very practical way of thinking about mid-career transitions using Ikigai. What stood out to me was how actionable they were. This is not about quitting your job and taking a blind leap. It’s about evolving with clarity and control.
I noted down the key ideas and tried to structure them so they can actually be applied in real life. Let me walk you through it these actionable 11 steps for you.
Most transitions don’t start with logic. They start with a feeling that something is missing.
