It is, I agree, at the end of the day he built his products on top of corporate workers and exploited good opportunities and niches, and he brags about it, to market it, which I personally find distasteful, but that what it takes for solo devs.
But it's not the vibe I get from most of the comments, it seems a lot of comments are knee-jerk reaction promted by envy.
- DandyDev 3y agoHow is this guy "exploiting" people? He sells products mostly for a one-time fee - something HN often reminds us is way better than "subscription for everything". And these products obviously serve people well. And since when is being successful and in detail explaining how you went about it "bragging"?
- aogaili 3y agoI didn't say exploiting people. I said exploiting niche opportunities and piggybacking on the shoulders of corporate workers, ain't nothing wrong in that. In fact, I praise his hustling and envious of it.
