For all the talk of Deep Work and Focus, this comic on why you shouldn't interrupt a programmer resonates the most to me. Maybe that's why as a developer at heart, I struggle doing many time-spliced interrupt driven tasks at work: https://t.co/sbDyjL0K0O
@damengchen@GeoffTRoberts@outseta I reckon. I even integrated Outseta into a SaaS hobby project in a custom React site with an AWS API Gateway backend and it works a charm.
@JustinKuijpers Interesting, what’s the epicentre in this sense? I often think about the epicentre or seed of an idea, or putting it another way a specific problem I regularly experience that I, at the very least, want a solution to. That’s my epicentre, where I start.
I've left my job at AWS and bootstrapped @NotionForms to $10k MRR.
Here's EVERYTHING I did to get there. There were ups and downs, but the journey was amazing.
I hope this inspires you to achieve your goals 🎯
Can't wait to get your feedback! 💫

Conclusion is not that WordPress sells well. The point here is that making tech accessible for masses of non-tech users sells the most
@GeoffTRoberts@thisiskp_@outseta Love this stuff. I like “projections” - if all goes well this is where we might be. But a goal (especially revenue) as a target almost certainly warps behaviour and introduces sub-optimal decisions - just to hit that target.
@agazdecki Agree. One by one make yourself “redundant” in whatever roles you’re doing, letting others in the organisation pick them up. They grow. Company can scale. You can focus on, rather than in, the business.
@arvidkahl Reminds me of the ToMo Total Motivation stuff which builds on Dan Pink’s book Drive. If “work” can become more like “play”, you’re into a good thing. Play as in stuff you’d do even if you weren’t getting paid.
@arvidkahl Comes down to what "sellable" means for the bootstrapped founder, I imagine often it's the "life changing event", so when in the VC world can you "retire" (in a very broad sense)? Meaning open up a different life.
@BeABetterDevv When you’re a developer I feel like it often also culminates in that feeling that you’ve painted yourself into a corner, you’ve got no more degrees of freedom, without re-engineering out the complexity and opening up some “space”
