building software is a valid form of artistic expression

Everyone can build now. Almost nobody knows what's worth building.

AI didn't replace the work. It just moved it upstream to deciding what's worth doing... Which is infuriating when AI tells you everything is a good idea.

Check your analytics at least once every 3 days. Do it for the motivation if nothing else.

Tired of building alone? I'm opening up my Whatsapp group and starting bi-weekly video calls for solo builders. Totally free. founder.clinic

The best product decisions I've made were deletions. Building is too fun. And that's a problem.

Being a solo founder means you're the CEO, the intern, and the guy who has to renew the SSL cert.
