Great article. Working on my own startup (https://encore.dev https://encore.dev) I also feel the urge to measure my progress in terms of output, not outcomes. I have to constantly remind myself that what matters is the outcome. Focus on producing a concrete, visible artifact every day and use that as your measure of progress instead.
And make sure to stay sane; startups are not a balanced lifestyle but that just means we need to push ourselves harder to find balance, as opposed to pushing ourselves even further out of balance.
- TheUndead96 7y agoEncore looks like an awesome project. What would you say is the value-add compared to other serverless offerings by cloud providers? At the moment simplicity/ease-of-use seems to be its biggest strength.
- eandre 7y agoThanks, that means a lot! Unlike other offerings the focus is really on the development experience, hence the focus on ease-of-use and simplicity as you say. The goal is to provide a best-in-class developer experience; the serverless part is really just a piece of that, if that makes sense?
- sumanthvepa 7y agoThis is actually very good advice. Making small concrete steps is great way to avoid depression. And stay away from entrepreneur porn.
