Writing about SaaS, Laravel, AI, and building digital products.

I'm Michael, 37, CTO & Co-Founder at Jacasa, based in Munich, Germany.

This is my space to think out loud about building software and the decisions around it. I write about Laravel and SaaS, practical uses of AI, bootstrapping, and the unglamorous work that makes digital products useful.

How I think about building

Start with the problem. Keep the feedback loop short. Choose tools that make the work easier to understand, and add complexity when there's a reason for it.

Some ideas need an article. Others fit into a few sentences. You'll find both here: notes while an idea is taking shape, and longer pieces when it deserves a closer look.

What you’ll find here

  • Laravel & SaaS: clear workflows, dependable foundations, and maintainable code.
  • AI & engineering: practical experiments, with human judgment in the loop.
  • Product & bootstrapping: doing useful work within real constraints.
  • WordPress migrations: keeping the content and its history intact.

Thanks for stopping by. Pick a topic or follow the latest thoughts below.

Why would I pay $15/month for your software when I can plan, build, review, improve, host, launch, scale, secure, patch, monitor and debug it myself?

I truly believe that most people should down tools on feature dev for 1 hour and spend the time helping their agent to work smarter/more efficiently/faster

Huge leverage can be gained from just a few changes

Been waiting a few days now for my Codex limit to reset so I can keep shipping 😅

Who else is out here waiting to build and ship?

What all the SaaS-pocalypse people don't understand:

Businesses are buying reliability. They are buying the peace of mind that someone else is responsible and accountable to solve that specific problem.

Vibe coding stuff inhouse that has nothing to do with your core product and maintaining it is a distraction that is almost never worth it. Especially when the process is 100% standardized across the industry.

You're all caught up.

Good things take a little time to write.
