Zakir Hossen
Bangladeshi solo founder building software products in the open.
গ্রাম থেকে, শূন্য থেকে — ধীরে, সৎভাবে, ধৈর্য ধরে।
- Married young. Never let go of the dream.অল্প বয়সে বিয়ে করেছি — তবু স্বপ্ন ছাড়িনি।
- Learning every day. For life.প্রতিদিন শিখি, সারাজীবন শিখব।
- Character is built slowly, never rushed.চরিত্র গড়ে ধীরে, তাড়াহুড়ো করে নয়।
- From zero to wealth — no degree, no funding.শূন্য থেকে সম্পদ — কোনো ডিগ্রি নেই, কোনো ফান্ডিং নেই।
- Everything in the open — real numbers, real failures.সবকিছু খোলাখুলি — আসল সংখ্যা, আসল ব্যর্থতা।

Writing
- Claude Code Review: The Four Built-In Options and How I Review AI-Written CodeClaude Code reviews code four ways: /code-review, ultrareview, managed Code Review and GitHub Actions. What each one does, and the review rules I use.
- Laravel MCP: What Three Production Servers Taught MeHow to build an MCP server with the official laravel/mcp package, and six problems I had to fix on my three production Laravel MCP servers.
- Claude Code vs Codex: What Actually Changed After Six Months of BothI use Claude Code and Codex daily on production Laravel and TypeScript work. Where each one wins, where benchmarks stop helping, and my workflow.
- How to Get a Grok API Key and Build a Bot With ItThe console path to an xAI API key, why the OpenAI SDK works unchanged, and a working Telegram bot — plus the billing detail that catches people out.
- How to Build an MCP Server (And the Five Things That Broke Mine)Build a production MCP server: tool design, transports, OAuth, and the five failures that only show up once a real model starts calling it.
- MCP vs API: What the Difference Actually Is, From Someone Who Shipped BothMCP does not replace your API. It sits on top of one. What changes when you add an MCP server, what does not, and when building one is a waste of time.
My story
From Tarakanda, a village in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. SSC pass, dropped out of a diploma — then 10+ years teaching myself to build software. Married at 22, two sons, a paralyzed father to care for. In 2024 I was 450,000 BDT in debt. I climbed out. Today I'm the solo founder of Lomeyo, LLC — building software products in the open, working toward a million by the end of 2027.
ধীরে, সৎভাবে, ধৈর্য ধরে — এটাই আমার পথ।
