great vid! keep up going
I think there is a beautiful middle ground where you take some external funding, but use it wisely instead of burning cash meaninglessly.
product hunt or indie hacker
daje enricoooo
Make it >>>>>>>>> Fake it
Been thinking this for a long time. I saw the money wasting trends and went "fuck that"
these are just adorable stories
craigslist 01:14
midjourney 06:19
Becoming an Indie filmmaker is also similar. Rather than making a 300 million dollar film and earning revenues worth 1000 million dollars. Indie filmmakers make a film with just 1 million or less and then earn 5 to 6 million back. Living a simply and easy life full of freedom.
why fix something that isnt broken…
Hi Enrico …nice video… could you make a video on the denial of the exit plan… I mean…why is the logout button in many of these social media platforms, OOT apps, other apps,….so hidden…and even if you can track it down…they give you offers like to pause the usage and return back after a few months or years…why are they not letting you exit their systems….I can see the same attitude towards the consumer/ user in super markets, modern cloverleaf infested highways….its like Hotel California…you enter but you can never leave…
I didn't know it was called indie hacking but that's what I'm doing. I want to build something and maintain full control. I want the freedom.
i loved this man. Get them coming
Wow silicon valley really invents everything. They even invented the small business ๐
when i hear tech company i think of huge data centers, modern offices and gentrification lol I think of facebook, google and tesla. we aren't in the 90s my guy
Hahahahahahahaha "hip start-up raising a hundred million dollars to build an AI toaster". A great descripton of what we've turned the modern times into
PhotoAI has terrible reviews though, did u know that? Apparently it really sucks and it's a sc@m
10:18. $2000 a day not a month
the basics of ai lol
midjourney is a scam there is no way to engineer a prompt it's just random
this was good!
Noice
Really interesting to learn how you don't need to raise a gazillion dollars to live a comfortable and free lifestyle with a tech company
if you knew how tech work, why aren't you a billionaire?
Nice thumbnail. Got me here
Bootstrapping something like Midjourney requires huge CPU/GPU power. Strapping $0 for buzzz wording is disgusting. Many people can't even have a single GPU so these startups are something out of humble beginnings. No computer or network tech company is a humble startup.
Wait… The new innovation in tech is just to build a company that grows as its revenue increases …?
Well explained. Thanks for bringing up the videos financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.

That indiehacker type of mentality is what I would do if I ever decide to start a business in tech – just need enough money from it so I can have a comfortable life. It doesn't need to earn millions and billions. As long as my small set of users are happy and paying while I am earning decent money, that's the max level of effort and work I would put into it.
Story of Gumroad is a HUGE W. Hats off to Sahil for choosing to maintain an profitable business even if it's medium or small sized as infinite growth is unsustainable as it's forced by the shareholders in our current late-stage capiliatist world.
You forgot the part on which Midjourney made money by stealing from artists and how his product is impossible to make without stealing, a really successful thief.
HAHAHa.. now I remember why I unsubscribed. Just Clickbait trash. More useless "content"
This is because we see big companies like google and facebook just spending billions of dollars a year and no new features, meanwhile they arent ever doing the useful good things that everybody wants, so they just make it themselves, with the idea of keeping it small so that they dont turn into the next google, so tha they can just work for a few hours a day from wherever in the world they want.
1:47 I really hope Lego Obi Juan Kenobi actually sold for Juan thousand Juan dollars.
Tech is a fine example of repeating cycles.
The point of the title doesn't start until ten minutes in, fyi.
L vid
This gum roads story is similar to mine ๐ … great video
I love how just basic capitalism, creating a product that people like and use and not worrying about garbage like "shareholder value" is now called "indie hacking". It's just basic capitalism. Yeah, I know "capitalism" is a bad word nowadays because of how shareholder capitalism has ruined almost everything, but this is just base capitalism. In fact, I wish these "indie hackers" would just take back the word and call the shareholder bullshit out for what it is: unsustainable garbage.
It's refreshing to hear about alternatives to the prevalent Tech bro culture. This culture can be incredibly destructive, as it's built on the premise that money is the only goal, with no other mission, no social responsibility. It often causes chaos and externalizes costs to society, which companies like Facebook, Twitter and now AI exemplify.
just fell upon your channel, and it's my new top 3 favorite channels
0:40 This is not how you do "less than". Correct is <40 <3
This is an amazingly well done video !!
I like using Discord as an interface for my own application. It makes it simple and straightforward, and thereโs no need to deal with an API and then also you can handle authentication or authorization to that app by just having a secret channel where that app will only respond to certain people that are part of that channel.
I'm not sure that a conversation can be had about tech startups without speaking about blitzscaling.
