This is something I wondered about too, and always do when looking at recommendations, particularly by single individuals. What I like about this list in particular is that it clearly admits that reading these books by far does not guarante

Do you have any good examples? Genuinely curious (particularly about the kind of market they're located in and what happened to the "original" business).

Thanks for the kind words. I spend a LOT of time talking to people, both on (founder) Twitter and in other communities. I listen to people's problems and take notes. I also do some consulting — again, mostly for bootstrapped founders —

I think this might be about the interdependency of these actions. Both lead to each other. None would happen without the other. Wrapped in a funny story.

Yeah, the article is definitely bootstrapper-centric. I think such a collection of stupid ideas lists would make for a great "anti-cheat-sheet".

The ruby-like syntax and the VERY open and newbie-friendly community have definitely contributed to this. I've been to Elixir conferences, and they felt like people were just encouraging each other to build solid software WITH each oth

So THAT's what they mean when they claim to be "the front page of the internet." JUST the front page, it appears. For a website that has been around so long and has been a fundamental building block of what most of us underst

That's exactly what it is about: trust and context. People will only give you the benefit of the doubt if they know that you are part of the team — you are a peer. Not a stranger, not a threat, but one of them.

Thanks so much! Author here. The thing that stands out for me is that involving my (future) readers from day one has been a 100% positive experience. I expected things to be boring or ego-bruising, but this journey has been extremely positi

I’ve been working on a SaaS tool that combats link rot for writers. The service periodically checks the original sources and redirects broken links to the archive.org snapshot automatically when the sources fail. Any redirection can be cust

This behavior caused us to get blanket permissions for an extension I worked on in the past. We’d add a new permitted URL to support a newly integrated site, only to have the extension disable itself for all our customers, most of which wou

This puts into sharp relief how outages and downtime can hit ANYONE. Cheers to all the small SaaS businesses out there keeping their services up and running without much of a hick-up all year round.

I have sold a business as well, and I have to admit I am very surprised by this response, too. Not only does Josh divulge information that most founders are legally forbidden from ever revealing, he also was always extremely open about the
