Interestingly I agree with these sentences (sans not being 30 yet and not having kids and leaving at precisely 5:30)
I want to start a product because I think it'll be useful and I have bills to pay, I concern myself with user privacy first and foremost when designing and I don't want to fall into the trap of doing an "apple design". I don't want to scale either, I want to have a healthy and slow growth, maybe not even grow beyond a point. From a pure business standpoint these things are irrational (except paying bills) but personally I find them important.
- quadcore 9y ago> maybe not even grow beyond a point Meaning you'd refuse access to your product to customers?
- zaarn 9y agoI don't really see the problem with that. It is not a requirement for a business to constantly grow or seek the maximum amount of customers. If I make some profit without growing, I'm satisfied, especially if my existing customers are satisfied. (And there are many ways to control growth beyond just "refusing access")
- quadcore 9y agoWhat would you get from controlling growth? Existing customers more happy? Anything else? Just curious.
- zebMcCorkle 9y agoLess work, possibly?
- zaarn 9y agoLess work, better customer relations, etc. I personally believe that a small business is just better at making customers happy than a big business (atleast for a lot of things on the internet)
- quadcore 9y agoLess work is great.
- lucozade 9y agoI read it as not taking on more customers.
- frik 9y agoEven this non-political version got hidden very fast. No free speech here, nothing to see. Why has it turned to such a toxic place here on his website?
- Tade0 9y agoSame here. If I ran a profitable company of at most sixty people I would be the happiest person on earth.
