The easier it is to build a product, the harder it is to stand out.

The difficulty has shifted from building to marketing.

Play the game accordingly.

Show Your Work! - Austin Kleon
Tbh this book is full of gems.

Share your trade secrets, tell good stories, do a little every day, etc.

But the one that really stuck out to me was "no guilty pleasures."

If you like something, own it!

Everybody thinks that everybody thinks like they do

Ever stop to think that that might not be true?

IMO indiehacking is like being a new singer.

🎤 Your first albums or tracks won’t usually be a hit (think of Ed Sheeran or Billie Eilish in their early days).

💥 You gotta keep adjusting, pivoting, and experimenting until you create your first hit!

🚀 Keep building!

"Building in Public" might be one of these Quotes that were cut short and lost the real meaning

#buildinpublic
Building in public sounds fun until you have to post:
→ Launched. 0 signups.
→ Fixed a bug. Still no users.
→ Changed pricing. No one cares.

But hey, at least we’re learning.

What do you consider a higher connection here? if someone
* likes a post of yours
* follows you

Without any other interaction.

If your job hunting look at it as a funnel

Low response rate to applications means low match between your CV [and cover letter] to the advertised position

Try different CV versions and watch your ratios

Graduate to first posting is the hardest you'd have finding a position
whoa.... 1k job applications? 🤯

I'd try to prove your experience w/ side projects or open source.

I'd also reach out directly to companies you really love - even if there's no public opening.

plus, make sure you craft your cv + letter for the particular role - nothing generic.

Honest to a fault.

Do you feel hindered by that?

The ability to learn includes a high degree of what to ignore
I think curiosity and the ability to learn

... which entails the ability to be self-critical
... and I think also requires a degree of ambition/vision

plus points if that curiosity includes the desire to know and understand other people deeply

Choose what you want to build first
Don’t worry about choosing the wrong programming language.

Why?

Because the core skills you develop as a software engineer are transferable.

- Problem solving.
- Clean code & clean architecture.
- How to actually build real projects.

Will carry over.

The crowds are wrong, you don't need the smartest model for coding, a quick model with more context is easier to work with if you're a developer - Gemini 2.0 exp free is the current goat for the daily driver. Prove me wrong.

AI shows us how bad we are at communicating our desires. You get what you asked for.

Don't blame the AI for shitty response, just improve your communication skills. (unless it is gemini)

Telling the story: we can help YOU with something you WANT, and escort them EMOTIONALLY to SATISFACTION
Is marketing about explaining the problem?
Is marketing about showing the solution?
Is marketing about explaining the benefits?
Is marketing about positioning relative to competitors?

Or what is it?

Types of landing pages
* Hi, this is us
* This is for executives, contact us for a one hour sales call
* You're going to listen to me
* I've spent all my energy on the product, I don't care about this page
* I think no one understands English anyway
* We solve *your* problem

Feels familiar?
