After months of fruitless nights failing to decode FAST16, Jags made a decision most researchers wouldn't: he tattooed 'FAST16, nothing to see here, carry on' on his arm — a permanent reminder of the unsolved mystery he refused to abandon.
Where this was said

The fragment that launched Jags's investigation wasn't even a piece of code — it was just six words from a leaked NSA malware identification list. The tool was designed to help NSA operators in the field determine whether other hackers were already present on a target system. Every other entry had a standard warning: 'known malware, pull back.' Every entry, that is, except one. FAST16's entry simply read, in all caps: 'FAST16, nothing to see here, carry on.' [1] — Juan Andrés Guerrero Saade "Out of an entire leaked NSA malware list, one entry stood completely apart: 'FAST16, nothing to see here, carry on' — in all caps, with no …" 03:35 No warning, no instruction — just a dismissal. For a budding cyber paleontologist, this was pure catnip. Jags rummaged through public malware archives until he located the actual FAST16 code, and began the slow, painstaking work of reconstructing its skeleton. But even after assembling the full structure, its secret mission eluded him — leading to months of what he calls 'cracked-out nights' and residence in 'the Valley of Despair.'
The only clue Jags had to FAST16's existence was a single cryptic 6-word line in a leaked NSA malware list: 'FAST16, nothing to see here, carry on.'
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
