The MVP factory, 48 hours
The credit deadline turns LuarAI into the thing it was founded to be: an MVP incubator. Fifteen projects for him, six for Carlos, four for Julia, roughly 200,000 lines of code, built by 'mental projects': a deep search, a distilled plan, and one magic instruction, don't stop until the plan is complete.
// trace: where this idea came from
- ↳ video diary @ 4:42 (el truco de no pare)
- ↳ video diary @ 6:42 (200,000 líneas, impensable hace dos años)
- ↳ video diary @ 6:00 (la incubadora que siempre quiso)
The scoreboard opens the video: Julia built three applications today, he built fifteen ▸ 0:10. The judgment underneath it: the model graduated, “ya se volvió un programador senior, ya no es un junior que la caga mucho” ▸ 2:12, so with the credits expiring at 2 a.m. tomorrow ▸ 2:47, LuarAI finally became what he always said it would be, “una incubadora de MVPs” ▸ 6:00.
The method deserves its name, mental projects: imagine the whole product, run a deep search, have Claude write the exhaustive MD plan, then the instruction he discovered by accident and now swears by, “no pare hasta que todo lo que esté en el plan esté completo” ▸ 4:42, and walk away. Twenty thousand lines per project, ten-plus projects, around 200,000 lines in two days, “impensable hace dos años” ▸ 6:42. The single-GitHub limit got a family workaround, he creates the repos and invites everyone in ▸ 13:01.
quince fábricas mentales andando y una sola advertencia: código sin usuarios no es MVP →
The roster reads like a second founding: Conviérteme, a WhatsApp bot that converts any file for the people who always ask him to ▸ 16:17; Agentic, a Play Store for agents where the prompt stays secret ▸ 17:03; Smith, named for the Matrix agent, to test ten agent versions across ten scenarios in parallel with an AI judge scoring them ▸ 18:31; Daidalos, the audacious one, an AI-native rebuild of Coupa, the very software his last job resold ▸ 23:26; La Fogata, a Gartic-style group game for learning concepts ▸ 24:31; Sanfanson ported to Flutter because the feedback kept asking for the Play Store ▸ 19:15. Julia runs her own line: Piqui with her original ideas restored, PickyBar, and a mnemonics reading game of clickable stories ▸ 9:54. Two sober notes survive the mania: none of this is an MVP until someone uses it, “¿de qué sirve tener código si nadie lo utiliza?” ▸ 6:07, and the next bottleneck is already visible, testing, where Carlos’s trick of pointing Perplexity’s Comet at a product to register, log in and click through it ▸ 27:41 may be the factory’s next machine…
