I want to talk about how I built @MCPCore - a cloud platform where developers create, deploy, and manage MCP servers from their browser - and what 10+ years of backend experience taught me about using AI in production work. Not the hype version. The honest one.

Every idea is already taken. So what?

I'm a backend engineer. I've spent most of my career building server-side systems, and I currently lead a backend team at my company. At some point I wanted to build something of my own. A product. Something real.

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
