Follow the 'unicorn' startups and you will find all of the origin's for buzzwords. SPACs have been around for a long time, also they were considered a junk method of going public due to the nature of SPACs. It's the fact

There's plugins and WP developers galore. Actually, for $89.99 per month you can have a team that watches and fixes your site as and when things go bad. All of the above does not appeal to the masses. Hide my WP takes away the security

But Dev's are the people who had issues with WP. WP has been given this awful image but when you can buy a fully functional LMS system for $69 with 6 months support, you just can't beat the value. Want to ensure people don't

That quote is what made a16z. It's the cornerstone of their image, it seems they are riding that quote into the ground. If you are interested in having some more laughs, this is the full story: https://www.newcomer.co/p

There was a recent post from an A16Z insider that basically made it clear that they are nothing more than a media house with VC capabilities. This is probably why the person writing it doesn't make much sense to you.

The trouble with a few hundred customers is the customer service side of operations. Indie hackers are lean machines and having to support a large customer base requires more tasks. Managing churn is also another problem area as you grow wh

Indie hackers generally have a low/no budget. So other indie hackers will say that a specific part of a CRM, for example, is all that would be needed, they create that SaaS and sell it for $5 per month or free (a fraction of the price

This is the definition of an indie hacker. They take established products/tools and then strip them to improve one area and sell it onto other indie hackers at an 'affordable' price which requires you to sell your soul for $8

This is how AirBnb grew. They took listings from Craig's list and added them to the site and then added their listings onto Craig's list (aka growth hacking).

This is a very interesting idea. Now I'm getting curious to see how this could be put into action. Whilst probably not as beneficial as predicting behaviour, there could be a startup version to find the origins of buzzwords. Then try t

:) art students could consider this route post studies, military creativity courses with essentially unlimited funding. It really is astounding to see how many millions/billions then and now can go into failed projects.

Exactly, but some people will pass it off as nothing major. But others will lose their mind, phone customer service and demand the manager because there wasn't enough sticky tape on the packaging as well as the grinding gears, even a w

:) that's a better way to put it to be honest. Throw enough crap and something will stick = growth hacking.

It really is. The level of confidence from test pilots to initial designers to firstly propose ideas and then have someone sit inside and try it out is pretty interesting too.

Honestly, after watching Dark Doc's on YT I have to say that the military is totally open to the most craziest ideas as long as it has the potential to raise their game. Whilst the nature of the engineering is pretty awful and causes u

I didn't have a word for it but now I do. This sentence also describes the vast majority of startups - "It’s when we imitate behaviors without understanding how they work in the hope of achieving the same results. Naturally enoug

Spot on, it's infuriating to deal with. There's a lot of time spent reading blogs and quoting some flavor of the month founder and then essentially trying to replicate as much as possible. One of my consulting roles got terminated

Marketer here and this is so spot on. So many companies that I have worked for have had founders that just didn't seem to understand metrics as well as they thought they did. Huge spread sheets with % and pivot tables and week on week

Exactly this. A lettuce grown in California that's shipped to NYC is going to be incredibly low in 'benefits'. IMO vertical farms do have a role in the future and that is to swap out lettuce/leafy greens/herbs grown

I set up a garage hydroponics 'farm' (produced about 3-5kg of microgreens) with the intention of going to local restaurants. Honestly, the flavour is out of this world and that's pretty much with everything you grow too with

Got it, it's interesting you say that as EU SMS/MMS works a treat and there's the added bonus of low or no roaming charges these days.

I heard from somewhere that you can't listen to a review by someone without at least first knowing them. Which is a valid point when you consider the review that was left for 9/10. Cracks and noises are OK for some but a huge issu

I would to believe this but after spending many years of with SEO and PPC it just doesn't matter if they do to be fair. One way or another your GSuite account is linked to your personal account and that's where things get back on

Or people are just sick of being shown ads on everything Google. Sure $5 you get X, Y, Z but you also get 000's of ads pumped at you constantly. Even though you pay for that access you are pretty much opening up all of your inboxes etc

I am enjoying seeing this coming to light more and more. Paid Ads with FB and Google used to actually be really good, they worked really well but since the influx of Drop shippers, algo updates and everything else in between they have both

Hmmmm...there's a whole article on that blog about 'why you should have a blog' which to me reminds me of 'flatting the curve' medium post which was written by a 'marketing manager'....
