   Thanks Rob! I have you, Mike, Sherry, and the Microconf community to thank in large part for showing me that this route is possible. I also have a copy of Start Small Stay Small, The Single Founder, and Keeping Your Sh*t Together on my book

   Initially my intent was to go from full time employee to a ~16 hours/week contractor so I could spend the rest of my time on Preceden, but I wound up also picking up contracting work with my former employer (Automattic) and found mysel

   My design skills are alright (see the 2019 screenshot in the post), but it took hiring a designer a few years ago to take it to the next level (see the site today). I found him on Tailwind Discord and have been very fortunate to work with h

    Thanks for saying so! And yes, for every bootstrapped startup that sees a rocket ship trajectory and makes headlines, there are probably 100 that are struggling to grow. Would love to read more about those journeys.

    I'll write a lessons learned post in the future, thanks for suggesting it. The decision to go full time now stemmed from a combination of factors: partly financial milestones, partly not having enough time in the day to focus on the th

    I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about this as I was very naive at that point in my journey. Launching Preceden was literally posting on HackerNews and hoping for the best. I would encourage you to join Microconf Connect, a

    Thanks! I read something here on HN recently about how representation matters: essentially that it's important that people are aware of what others in similar circumstances are up to. I hope this post finds some other long-term side-pr
