"just make some money" is not good advice. It trivialises the entire problem and even worse, it's the core problem of everyone in this space. This reasoning is dismissive of their struggle and doesn't help them move towards where they need to be. There is absolutely no good reason to treat other people like that.
- ushakov 4y agoi didn't mean to say that i'm suggesting to try to make money as soon as you can, else you'll just drown like many others
- jensneuse 4y agoI agree with this. What most developers, like me, love to think is that you can do "one more feature" and they will come, or another refactor, or anything. But I've learned this lesson. Building a startup us very little about coding, and more about all the other things that make up a business. What's your value proposition? How do you sell? How do you acquire users? etc... In the end, I've wasted way too much time on the things that didn't make a difference, but I think I've learned from this.
