I’m trying to validate a SaaS idea, but I’ve hit a problem I didn’t expect:
Finding the right people to validate it with.
I want to talk to agency owners who deal with scope creep and figure out one thing:
Is this painful enough that you’d actually pay to solve it?
Caching doesn’t make your database faster.
It makes your app hit the database less.
That’s the real mental model.
The hard part?
Knowing when the cached data is no longer true.
I know how to build software.
Now I’m learning the much harder part:
figuring out what people actually want badly enough to pay for.
Going from software engineer to founder feels like starting over with one useful superpower.
“One small change” is rarely the expensive part.
Realizing it was out of scope after your team built it is.
I’m researching how agencies handle this:

Software engineer starting a SaaS:
Day 1: architecture
Day 2: more architecture
Day 3: realize customers do not pay for architecture
Day 4: existential crisis
Anyway, time to talk to users.
I’ve spent years learning how to build software.
Now I’m learning the harder part:
building something people actually want to pay for.
I’m building ScopeTether, starting at $0 MRR, and sharing the engineering, mistakes, customer conversations, and progress here.
