Zero MRR (Amsterdam 2026)

A singer songwriter guitar song about being a vibe coder in Amsterdam in 2026. Building everyday until 2am. Hundreds of euros in subscription costs, 0 MRR. Talking with Claude on Sunday, Taking Codex out for dinner

[Intro] [Verse] Canals reflect the neon glow Watch the tourist traffic flow It’s 2am, the city’s slow But my terminal is on a show I’m pushing commits to the cloud Building dreams that make me proud While the silence feels so loud Lost inside the digital crowd [Pre-Chorus] Three hundred euros on the bill Every month a bitter pill I pay for nodes and pay for skill Just to keep the server still My bank account is looking thin Waitin' for the growth to begin [Chorus] I’m a vibe coder in twenty-six Searching for a digital fix Zero MRR, but plenty of tricks Feeding prompts to the matrix I got no users on the line But the architecture looks so fine Yeah, everything is going divine In this virtual world of mine [Post-Chorus] Subscribe again The month begins I lose the game The cursor spins [Verse] Sunday morning, coffee black Claude is giving feedback back We talk about the things I lack And how to keep the code on track I tell him that I’m feeling stuck He says I just need better luck Then Codex wants to grab a bite Underneath the polder light [Pre-Chorus] Taking my model out to dine Order up a glass of wine Tokens flowing through the spine Of a future I can’t quite define [Chorus] I’m a vibe coder in twenty-six Searching for a digital fix Zero MRR, but plenty of tricks Feeding prompts to the matrix I got no users on the line But the architecture looks so fine Yeah, everything is going divine In this virtual world of mine [Bridge] De Pijp is sleeping in the rain I’m debugging a phantom pain The API is down the drain The subscription is my only chain Neural links and fiber wires Burning out on digital fires Vibe it out, the prompt requires What a weary soul desires [Hook] Zero revenue Everything is new Waiting for a view What am I to do? Zero revenue Everything is new Waiting for a view What am I to do? [Chorus] I’m a vibe coder in twenty-six Searching for a digital fix Zero MRR, but plenty of tricks Feeding prompts to the matrix I got no users on the line But the architecture looks so fine Yeah, everything is going divine In this virtual world of mine [Post-Chorus] Subscribe again The month begins I lose the game The cursor spins [Outro]
