15 Softwares built solo, MVPs within 2 weeks | $1M software built in 1 month | 300+ softwares designed/led | Get a clear "Software MVP Roadmap" In 1 Week | MVP building courses | 11 y CTO/CPO | 13 year Business Analyst

Apparently, a bunch of tech leaders secretly/silently follow me, without ever commenting or interacting. I know exactly why 👇 What software skillset have I mastered that no one else has? Gathering Business Requirements. How to ask the right questions to scope software effectively. The single most overlooked and most SKIPPED software skill and the MOST IMPORTANT part of the entire process. I was a Business Analyst BEFORE I was a CTO. I've been a CTO 11 years. I've been a Business Analyst 13 years. I've gathered Business Requirements for OVER 400 software systems/modules. When I look at the mindmaps in my folders, I'm often astounded by how much I've done. The best other Business Analysts - senior Business Analysts - I've seen, are MAX 7/10, maybe 6/10. I have some courses I made that teach the fundamentals on asking the right questions. It's a basic/"fundamentals" level, but still VERY important - everyone lacks even the basics. One day, once I'm at the point where I can retire (which I think I may get to within 2 years), I'll probably decide it's time to pick some select individuals to transmit the expertise to. Until then, I'll enjoy being the only person who can build a business-level software in 1-2 weeks. ✌

It's impressive that you possess such confidence. However, do you genuinely believe you're the only person in the world capable of gathering business requirements and developing something within 1-2 weeks?

I can confirm this is 100% true. Jeff once tagged me in a post with 4 likes. 20 people reached out. People seriously underestimate what a massive authority this dude is seen as.
