Building again.

Next startup launching to 1M+ audience. Will be away until the next milestone.

In the meantime, I'm working on a book and workshop SellingInTheDark.com (wip) that dives into EXACTLY what success looks like BTS from leading indiehackers.

content is king

distribution is queen

Imposter syndrome is common—even senior developers rely on docs, Stack Overflow, and AI. The skill isn't memorization; it's problem-solving. #dev

Note to self.

Linus on C++

How devs used to communicate

I bet there were more thought put into each message. Now it's cheaper (and expected) to hit `send` instantaneously.

Maybe that's a good thing. People now text like they talk in real life, bringing man and machine closer.

But that unsettles me.

Cool!

"Should I drop out of college?"

If you have to ask, then no.

I haven't seen a success story where the founders who dropped out of college had poor family background or uneducated parents eg jobs, musk, dorsey, etc

A diploma is non-debatable if you came from poverty.

Is using docker to host your app the gold?

Been thinking about launching my next project via podman.

I haven't prioritize learning much about container as far as self-hosting some stuff.

I'm kinda behind =(

Congrats!

I haven't gotten there yet but have been considering finally picking up Kotlin for native or opt for expo.

So far, SPA have been enough.

Indie creators living in areas of conflict or active conflict zones, how do you do it?

It's hard to imagine what I'd do if a war, or civil war breaks out in the US. I can work anywhere with a decent Internet conn, but will I be able to.

If interested, here's link to their blog post gumroad.gumroad.com/p/updated-os...

PSA: $100K for Prize #1

Anyone know what Gumroad's intentions are?

Didn't know! Very cute

I'm building an idea right now. While it's nothing new or protectable, I've refined the approach enough for people to use it. I would've forfeited my leverage at executing the idea if I had shared the idea before jt came to fruition.

Good points!

Priceless.

I have this nagging feeling ideas are actually valuable; and we've been fed a lie this whole time that ideas are worthless.

VCs built the world's largest network of researchers to gather ideas for them pro-bono based on that lie.

Afterall, YC fund ideas

TedTalk sells ideas for $6000+

Wdyt? #dev

A proud dad moment is when your child codes his first game in Unity, relying solely on Discord, online videos and guides, and AI to speed-run Q&As.

Rarely do I see him use StackOverflow, etc.

I'll make $992.5K from this app in 2025.

My app started like this. I tried to map out the app by ERD-ing it w/o knowing how, but the diagram made enough sense for me to build an mvp in go, postgres, and vue. And then lots of canvassing + cold outreach off/on-line. #indie #dev #buildinpublic

This is one of the best metered pricing UX I've seen 🤩

@tinybirdco shows the number of CPUs you get on the scroll label. That's nice!

Is it odd to trust $SNAP more?

Happy Easter!
