Philosophy
- Ship in a weekend. If it takes more than 7 days, you're overthinking it.
- Use the fastest tools to get to market. Speed beats perfection.
- Monetize from day one. Every project should make money.

Why This Works
Marc Lou has shipped 20+ products and the ones that work share this exact stack. It's optimized for one thing: speed to market. Next.js handles both frontend and backend, MongoDB doesn't force you into a schema before you've found product-market fit, and Vercel makes deployment invisible.
This is the stack for "build it this weekend, sell it on Monday." The free tiers cover you until you have paying customers, and the tools scale up without migration when you do.
