This was an excellent post, and I loved the comics. But the situation sounds like a real nightmare. I recently read a blog post about burnout [1], and "lack of control" was one of the main factors. The Indie Hackers community is awesome. I've been thinking about starting a tech cooperative along those lines [1], where the members have full control of their own projects and can work on whatever they want. The goal would be to build some small SaaS products or mobile apps, and generate a bit of money. The value of joining a cooperative is that we could try many different ideas in parallel and share a fraction of the winning ideas, similar to a VC who invests in a large number of startups. The other benefit is that we can build a much closer community than Indie Hackers, because everyone has a stake in the company. We'd be independent, but could still work together to help each other succeed. Anyway, if this sounds like something that appeals to you, feel free to fill out this application form [2]. (I've heard from some really awesome people but will keep the form up for a while.)
