You must be joking right? Except you're not, which makes it sad instead of funny.
It must be very comfortable to not see the endless opportunities in increasing traction for your service after launch. Not even bothering to commit code any longer, since it was perfect at launch. Or doing marketing, sales, community and customer support, PR, ops, paying bills, sending invoices, handling complaints, bookkeeping, etc etc.
I never ever had the problem to keep myself busy, the problem is always prioritizing among the plethora of tasks you need to do and accepting the fact that you never will be able to do all of them.
- vaksel 15y agoI did say marketing/sales is the exception. Not bothering to commit code? If it works, and you don't have actual customers yet? Then yes...it's just busy work at that point. Community/Customer Support? I dunno about you, but customer support is only required for less than 1% of users. And even then it's usually a case of 1-2 sentences. Paying bills? How many bills do you have as a startup?
- martinkallstrom 15y agoHundreds. Please stop diluting the startup term with your hobby projects.
- vaksel 15y agoWe are talking about fresh startups, that are just getting launched. Twingly has been in business for 6 years. And even then, "hundreds" of bills is crap...unless of course you count every purchase on your credit card statement as a "bill"
