My business model is support for my software.
Can you tell me how to make my business run without me using that model? Most startups don't do support for this reason; I'm pretty sure it's impossible to do support without an available person.
But it's not unprecedented. Think Daniel Stenberg of libcurl.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI think most businesses solve this problem by charging enough to employ another person. If there's not enough value in the market for that then fair enough, but that would be the normal solution.
- gavinhoward 3y agoThat is true, but it is a personal limitation of mine that I work best on codebases I don't share. I have been thinking about how to handle this problem, and I'm not sure of the solution.
- robertlagrant 3y agoWould it require someone who works on the codebase? Or could you employ someone to be nice to customers and have just enough technical knowledge to do triage?
- gavinhoward 3y agoI have no idea.
