I am interested. I actually like Chi so no need to take it out. Are you open to sharing it ?

Don't do bootcamp. Start with something like https://freecodecamp.org and take a few lessons. Try to build something from that and see how motivated you are. If you see some progress and this thing still excites you, then m

Find someone else to go with. It becomes much easier to commit and actually do it.

May be but remember that once upon a time, Netflix was the newcomer and Blockbuster was the goliath/number 1 and here we are today. You never take anything for granted in business.

A few: 1. Custom domains per tenant (if relevant). For example, if you are building a platform like shopify where each tenant gets their own domain, this is an interesting challenge. Services like cloudflare for SAAS cost an arm and a leg a

"game is actually not available to people that aren’t rich" I was with you until this comment. Yes it is easier if you are rich but plenty of examples where people find a way to start a company without being rich.

Fair point. The fault is definitely OP's because they brought in someone who should not be a co-founder and even made it clear early on.

The mistake that you made was making them "co-founder" on paper. They never were true co-founder who would live and breathe this thing with you daily. They told you in the beginning ("employee mindset", "wanted a sa

I have been frustrated a bit with them as well because in the last few months, more often than not, a droplet hangs without any issues and they cannot tell us why. The only way is to reboot it. We were paying them over 5K/Month for som

"do they really expect this all the time" This is an interesting question. I don't know if they believe but they def want to believe because without unicorns, they won't survive as most startups fail or have mediocre r

The thing with Funding is that you shouldn't really need it but it's more of a fuel when there already is fire (aka PMF). Once you have the fire (most people fail to get to this point anyway), then you decide if fueling that fire

I run a bootstrapped business and I hear you. However, VC Funding can make sense for certain cases. I do think that too many people raise VC prematurely. The best path in my opinion is: 0-PMF/100 customers: Bootstrap it PMF-Scale: VC F

Honestly, it is a lot more burdensome to hire in different states within US than your home state where business is registered. Hiring internally is relatively easier because you can do a B2B Contract and use W8-BEN-E for IRS. For hiring in

No I will do my best not to. Too many incidents and yes aviation in general is safe but lost trust in 737 MAX. I would rather cancel a flight last min and be stranded at an airport than get on one knowing I am on one. Frightening thought.

"suggesting it's worthless without sales / marketing /etc. I don't think that's true." Code is not worthless but it almost is without sales/marketing/talking to customers. If I could split the va

Hint: It is not about the fees. The 3% fee is a much smaller problem to have than what the world of crypto brings. Oh and while we are at it, remind me how to get majority of customers to pay in crypto who are used to just credit cards or w

What's wrong with w3schools ? They have come a long way since the w3fools days and their content is really good in my opinion.

It's not about tech stack. You can build an audience with anything useful. Focus on sharing what you know and you can build an audience slowly. It takes time and no shortcuts.

THe best way to track productivity is to define it first. I would say start your day with 1-2 things that you really want to get done and get those done. Rest are just nice to have. "Get done" doesn't necessarily mean complet

If it is just a few pages and mostly static, I would rebuild using a CMS like WordPress for future maintenance or at the minimum, a brand new static site and host on a $5 digitalocean droplet or netlify/cloudflare pages. Current setup
