I wonder what's causing the downward trend with white-tail deer specifically since 2000. New approaches to wildlife management? Renewed interest in hunting?

Exactly, thank you. Also, let’s be clear: we’re talking about the US. I’m sure it’s different in other countries.

I’m sorry but this is sorely misguided. How many of the farms surveyed are the owner and operator’s full time job? How many of those farms are owned and operated by multiple families at the same time? Farming in the US is nothing like a cor

This is so, so important for helping family farms stay alive. The amount my family has saved by being able to fix and even modify stuff on their own is huge. My dad still mows our lawn with an antique Allis-Chalmers hooked up to a commercia

This article summarizes a feeling I’ve had such a hard time articulating. At many of my previous jobs, I was so frustrated by the people obsessed with tooling instead of doing the work. Like, why are you trying to develop a react applicatio

I mean, if you're hell bent on not educating yourself, I don't think there's much more I can do to help you. Nonetheless, here's a twitter thread I made with a bunch of examples of big, well known sites that use programm

Looks like their redirect service for links was down, not twitter itself. I could go to my profile, but clicking links in my tweets gave me an API error. Ugh, not good.

Well, it wasn't easy. I tried many things: searching twitter, cold out reach through linkedin, upwork, broadcasting my availability to my personal network. Usually at least one of these would work. If I was more serious about building

Author here - Thanks, glad to hear that part resonated with you. I agree, you can't let your passion burn too bright, or it will consume you. "a small flame inside you" is a great approach.

Author here - Sorry for the confusion. The term originated from the Indie Hacker forum launched around 2016, a forum that was dedicated to helping people start small businesses online. This is the website I linked to at the beginning of the

Author here - Yes it works. I have two programmatic sites so far, one of which I built in public on my blog. I also consulted on programmatic SEO for a bit. Just like human written content, Google won't index your pages if they are low

Author here - Sorry about that. Since I haven't been much of a success, I didn't think people would be interested in my recommendations. But here are a few that I found really helpful: Indie Hacker Podcast (the forum on the site w

Author here - That's awesome. I admire your grit. Realizing you needed to change and focus more on marketing is a big step in the right direction. We all start out doing the wrong things and making mistakes. The key is learning from th

Author here - Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed the article. Programmatic SEO has a long history of being conflated with spam, though, it is not. There are many instances where this approach to creating content is the best approach for u

Author here - There may have been a misunderstanding. Fantasy Congress was my passion project. PageFactory is my attempt at a B2B SaaS. Also, my product does not provide any AI services.

Thanks so much! That's an interesting idea. I'll think about it!

Author here - Totally agree. Service based businesses like an agency is a much better way to start out. If I was starting over, this is the approach I would take.

My first year I lived entirely off of my savings and dedicated myself full time to my first project. So, it is indeed the anniversary of when I attempted to go full time, which was the sentiment of that sentence. Sorry if that wasn't m

Author here - Yeah, realizing I couldn't spend all of my time just building the product was a hard lesson to learn. This experience has forced me to learn a lot of new skills though, and I'm much more rounded as a person because o

Author here - Thanks for reading. The $1k/mo is just my "salary" from revenue generated by my indie projects. I had a substantial amount of savings that I lived off of for my first year. Since then, I've supported myself

Author here - Glad you found that line helpful. Of course, the goal would be building your business on the side until it's making a substantial amount of money, and then quitting your job. But I know that isn't a feasible path f

I recently read “the body keeps the score” and wow-ee the things we still don’t understand about the mind and body connection is crazy. Glad to see more studies diving into this type of stuff, and survivors talking about how powerful medita

It's been this way for a while. At this point, I think PH doesn't mind that it's happening. Maybe it makes people feel like they're getting engagement, and therefore, that their launch was more of a success? So they keep

Same. I tried having a bed time routine, eating/drinking at certain times, reading before bed, no phone, etc. Nothing makes a difference. I get sleepy around midnight and wake up around 8 - 9 am. All I wanted to do growing up was sleep
