Love this story! It perfectly illustrates something I keep saying about digital entrepreneurship - sometimes the best opportunities come from spotting tiny gaps in big platforms.
I've seen this firsthand building various digital products (some worked, many failed, all taught me something). The real magic isn't in building something completely new, but in making existing tools work better together.
Think about it - Tamir didn't try to compete with Zendesk. Instead, he found a small but annoying problem (those pesky thank you messages) and fixed it. That's the kind of practical innovation that actually works in 2025.
This really resonates with my own journey experimenting with AI tools. Just recently, I built a simple meeting timer app (https://thoughts.jock.pl/p/magenda-simple-meeting-timer-that-keeps-you-on-track) - not because the world needed another timer, but because existing ones didn't quite solve the specific problem I had.
Three key lessons that really hit home:
- Start small but solve a real problem
- Use no-code tools to validate quickly
- Let customers guide your growth
Side note: His approach to AI costs using Azure credits? Brilliant! It's exactly the kind of practical thinking we need more of in tech D:
Hey, are you working on any side projects that solve a specific pain point? Would love to hear about them!

Hi Pawel, thanks for your detailed response. I agree that’s why we featured Tamir.
You don’t have to create something new, raise money, or follow trends. Solve a pressing problem for your customers and you’re well on your way!
