Depends on how heavy you're going. If you're sticking to less than 2-2.5x BW you will be fine. Just don't try to set a 1 rep max.

The consistent growth tech companies like Amazon are able to maintain is INSANE. They're continuing to grow at a staggering rate despite their already massive size. There's also almost half the world that doesn't even use the

You can learn a lot of these things yourself and if your into bootstrapping you can do it solo for a long time. It’ll be more work and take longer for sure. I would suggest getting on twitter and communities like indie hackers. People share
