Other founder here. Coming at this from another angle: people in film approach me with ideas for products, and always ask "where can I find a coder?" The only answer I have for them is that they don't need a "coder"

Hi, other founder here. Does "SaaS" have to be synonymous with a subscription business model?

Hi, Indie Hacker here who also has some experience with politicized corporate environments. I’d like to encourage you to ignore some of the bad advice in this thread. Sounds like you were in a gnarly situation and did well to get out. You a

3:1 would be an extremely low -- I've never seen a shooting ratio that low in my life. Shooting just 4.5 hours of footage for a 1.5 hour film, for example, is unheard of. Even a 10:1 shooting ratio was pretty low for indie features in

Saying that Medium needs to hire writers misses the point entirely. Medium is a platform--not a publisher or a content studio. SV doesn't like the "studio" business model because it doesn't scale: there is no such thing

Yep. Tricked-out gaming rigs catching up with the heavy-iron graphics workstations was hugely disruptive. Low-overhead boutiques could suddenly do the same work as high-overhead facilities. But then you blinked, and the same work was happen

Pro was always a stepchild at Apple. Steve Jobs never stopped by NAB for the Final Cut Pro press events. And more than a decade ago I started seeing middle managers being "promoted" from Pro Apps to other divisions like iTunes. Th

Small, but important distinction: Studios don't make content. Studios made deals. Film production is a smiling curve: on the left you have "development"; on the right, distribution. Actual content creation is 100% farmed out

There are two kinds of "disruption": * The first merely inconveniences people who already work in a given industry, by forcing them to learn new tools or workflows. * The second unseats incumbents and fundamentally shifts power dy

My first summer job in 1990 was with a company than had then contract (then) to digitizing all USPTO patent applications. As a shipping clerk I got to see a lot of hair-brained patent apps. Picture a diagram of a shoebox decorated to look l
