I talk about my journey from sleeping at the company in my twenties to building my own business in my thirties. I emphasize the importance of using time wisely, pushing yourself hard when young, and the regret that comes from wasted years. I also share a story about a trainee who complained about hard work, and I advise against hiring such people.

A pro boxer can throw 30-50 punches in 10 seconds. 🥊
But someone who can throw 60? That’s a true master! haha 😎
Got the idea? Exceeding expectations is the real definition of mastery!

الملاكم المحترف يقدر يضرب 30-50 لكمة في 10 ثواني. 🥊
طيب اللي يضرب 60؟ هذا أستاذ احتراف! هههههه 😎

I spent hours testing Claude Fable on real production projects.

My personal takeaway?

⚡ Fable is faster.
🧠 Sonnet still feels more precise for many software engineering tasks.

Speed matters, but when you’re building production systems, accuracy matters even more.

This is my experience after working on real SaaS applications, architecture, and enterprise development.

What’s your experience?

The difference I've noticed in my work as a software solutions architect with the tremendous evolution of AI: In the past, a client would have a problem and we would provide a solution within a week. Now, we deliver a complete system within a month. 💚🟢

الفرق الذي لاحظته على عملي كمهندس حلول برمجية مع تطور الذكاء الاصطناعي الرهيب: قديما كان الزبون لديه مشكله وكنا نعطيه حل خلال فترة اسبوع، الان اصبحنا نعطيه نظام كامل خلال فترة شهر 💚🟢

Over the years, I’ve worked on enterprise platforms, cloud infrastructure, e-commerce systems, and SaaS products.

Recently, I decided to build something different.

As a karate practitioner, I noticed that many students still learn kata from static diagrams, PDFs, and notes. While those methods have been around for decades, they don’t always make it easy to visualize movement, direction changes, or the complete embusen.

So I built Kata Command.

A visual Shotokan Kata Simulator designed to help students and instructors follow every movement step by step.

🥋 29 Shotokan Katas
🌍 English & Arabic
📍 Interactive Embusen Visualization
📶 Available Offline

The goal was never to replace instructors.

The goal was to create a tool that helps students understand kata with more confidence between classes and before gradings.

Sometimes the best software isn’t built for the biggest market.

It’s built to solve a real problem for a community you care about.

Everyone is rushing to add AI to their SaaS.

Very few are asking the question that actually matters:

💰 How much does each AI interaction cost?

When you’re building a real AI-powered platform, prompts are not free. Every completion, document analysis, image generation, and AI workflow affects your bottom line.

That’s why one of the first features I build into AI SaaS products is cost tracking.

✅ Daily AI spend
✅ Monthly AI spend
✅ OpenAI costs
✅ Claude costs
✅ Usage visibility
✅ Profitability insights

Because successful SaaS companies don’t just track revenue.

They track expenses with the same level of precision.

Building AI features is easy.

Building an AI business that scales profitably is where architecture matters.

Most freelance developers are making a very expensive mistake — and they don't even know it.
They think the client is paying for the project cost.
The client is paying for the outcome. The speed. The certainty of delivery.
Here's what happened on a recent project at GreenBackend:
A client came with an aggressive deadline. As a solution architect, I knew the only way to deliver clean and on time was to push AI heavily across the entire stack — code generation, architecture validation, automated testing, infrastructure automation.
We compressed weeks into days.
But those tools aren't free. API costs, compute, the systems we've built to support this kind of delivery — that's real infrastructure with real cost.
So we sent a revised invoice.
30% added as AI tooling and acceleration fees. One paragraph of explanation.
They paid. Same day.
Why? Because they pushed for the fast delivery. Speed was their idea. I just showed them what speed actually costs.
Here's what I want every developer and founder reading this to understand:
→ AI is now a line item. Treat it like hosting. Like DevOps. Like any tool in your stack.
→ If you're absorbing AI costs silently, you are training your clients to expect premium delivery at commodity pricing.
→ The developers who master this — who build systems around AI, price it correctly, and deliver with it — are going to be among the most valuable people in this industry for a very long time.
The bottleneck used to be the code.
AI removed that bottleneck.
Now the bottleneck is your decision to charge for it.

I cover this in depth inside my fellowship programs — teaching developers and non-technical founders how to build, architect, and price AI-powered fullstack systems.
If this hit different, follow for more of the real conversations we're not having in this industry.

The setup itself needs an architecture 💚

People see the final result.

The SaaS platforms.
The architecture.
The deployments.
The content.
The business.

But they rarely see the discipline behind it.

Tonight I finished my kickboxing session… exhausted, sweaty, physically drained…

…and went straight back to the office to continue building.

Because being a Solutions Architect taught me something very similar to fighting:

Pressure reveals who you really are.

Discipline matters more than motivation.

Consistency beats intensity.

And real growth happens when you keep showing up — even when your body wants rest.

For me, fighting and engineering were never separate worlds.

Both require:
focus,
strategy,
resilience,
calm under pressure,
and the ability to solve problems while exhausted.

That mindset is what helped me survive 15+ years in tech.

And honestly…

The future belongs to people who can combine:
mental strength + technical ex*****on + relentless consistency.

Build your body.
Build your mind.
Build your systems. 🚀🥊
