see indie hackers make this mistake all the time. The advice is: solve your own problem, then find more people like you. The problem? You probably wouldn't pay $50/month to solve that problem, so people like you probably won't either.

That leads to product decisions based on your own preferences instead of your customers', like: - Freemium with no credit card required (because you wouldn't pay upfront) - Not building an email list (because you hate receiving emails) - Building dark mode first (because you think it's important)

- Not building an MCP (because you read on the internet that CLI is the new thing) You're not the customer. Your paying users are.
