if you're a small indie hacker who is trying to make a buck, remember that all of the software we use today has a village of people involved in the creation and support of it. Much of it does. And yet sometimes extremely successful software, even a few products that entire industries have relied on every day, has been created by a single person. In software of all industries one really good dev or a small tech-heavy team can punch way above their weight. In any case for stereotype indie hackers the goal isn't necessarily to found the next unicorn. Not everyone wants to follow that path, even among people reading HN. For some the dream is just to make a decent living doing something they enjoy without having red tape and office politics bringing down their day. I know several people who have made that particular dream come true and are entirely content with that result even if they're not going to be the next Web3 billionaire.
