where are the communities that value slow, stable, and sustainable growth? All I see is people chasing virality, vanity metrics, and quick bucks. Building a business/product is so lonely

I recently went on a "shader creative-spree" where Post-Processing became my main tool for transforming 3D scenes into stylized art
In it, I share the techniques behind the many effects I built and how I combined them in unique ways

People think good product design is taking the question most people ask,
And then answering it.
But it really is taking one question and refining it so much,
just like a jeweler cuts a diamond,
until the answer is obvious!

I noticed a change in my search habits.
Before i used to look for answers on Google. But now I've switched to chatgpt for queries that are questions and more long form. But even though I got my answer, i still search on google for different opinions from different websites. Search is evolving...

confession: I like writing more than coding. But when I'm coding I like writing APIs more than doing the frontend stuff.

All these years I've avoided writing but a couple of months ago everything clicked and I regret not starting 3 years ago.
When you don't write, marketing feels very restrictive and limited (at least to me). But writing opened up more avenues.
It's very fun when you know how to write.

unpopular opinion (?) but bootstrappers who share their MRR often are just meh and soulless. I've decided to mute most of them on here. Got tired of seeing their stuff on X.
Instead, I'd prefer people who share their challenges of building and growing a business. That stuff is more interesting!
