I had a call today with a potential client who was looking for a developer/agency to work on his project.

During the call, I shared my portfolio and walked him through products I've built over the years. Some of these products were launched successfully, and a few even helped founders secure funding.

His immediate reaction was:

>"Why is every Indian developer using AI? This looks AI-generated."

At first, I thought he was referring to code quality or something technical.

Nope.

His reasoning was that some of the designs looked similar to products he'd seen before.

I explained that I'm a software engineer, not a professional designer. If I'm building my own SaaS, I'll naturally take inspiration from successful products in that category. And if it's a client project, the design is usually based on the client's requirements anyway.

Then he said something interesting:

>"I'm not looking for AI work."

So I asked him a question:

If you're not looking for AI-assisted work, are you also willing to accept pre-AI timelines?

Because what I've noticed lately is that many clients want both:

• The speed AI enables
• The output of someone pretending AI doesn't exist

A task that used to take a week is now expected in two days because "AI is available."

But when developers use AI as a tool, suddenly it's seen as cheating.

That logic doesn't make sense to me.

The conversation continued, and eventually he said he wanted to move forward with the project and would pay after completion.

I declined.

Not because of the payment structure.

Because by that point, the trust was already gone.

My feeling was that if someone questions my competence before we've even started working together, every future milestone will become a debate:

• Did you really do this yourself?
• Did AI write this?
• Why did this take X hours?
• Why should I pay for this?

I've been building software professionally for years, and one thing I've learned is that bad-fit clients often cost more than they pay.

So I said no.

Curious what others think:

Would you have taken the project anyway, or is walking away the right move once trust is broken before the project even starts?

I am looking for a React native developer. If you know Nextjs that is an add on to your profile.

This is a client based project which requires around 5-6 hours per day. Sunday will be off.
Location preference: India

Do share your portfolio directly in my DM.

PS: Avoid "Hey", "Hi", "Interested" etc.

After spending months building a social media cross-platform posting and scheduling platform, I've decided to explore selling it.

A quick snapshot:

• Users can schedule and publish content across multiple social platforms from a single dashboard

• Fully functional product with the core infrastructure already built

• Generated ~$100 in revenue so far

• Infrastructure and operational costs account for roughly 25$

The reality is that I haven't been able to dedicate the time and focus needed to properly market and grow it alongside my consulting work. Rather than letting it sit idle, I'd love to see it in the hands of someone who can take it further.

If you're looking to acquire a SaaS product with an existing foundation and save months of development time, this might be a good fit.

Interested buyers, feel free to connect with me or send me a DM.

Happy to share more details, metrics, tech stack, and a product demo.

A client we worked with recently announced a $1M funding round, and I can't stop smiling about it.

As a Product Studio, you usually jump between projects, tickets, deadlines, and client calls. Most people only see the final product. What they don't see are the countless conversations, pivots, late-night debugging sessions, and hundreds of small decisions that slowly turn an idea into something real.

When we first started this project it was just an idea. Over time, we built it piece by piece, shipped features, fixed problems, listened to users, and watched it evolve into a product that people genuinely use.

The funding is obviously great news for the founders, but for us, the most rewarding part is knowing that something we helped build is creating real value for real people.

Developing a soluton can sometimes feel like you're just moving from one project to the next. Moments like this remind me why I love building products in the first place.

It's a pretty amazing feeling to see an idea become a product, a product become a business, and a business become something investors believe in.

Just wanted to share a small win that made my week.
