Is it innovative or just another way to get cheap labor under the guise of changing the world? I love building stuff too, but burning out talent isn't revolutionary.
Organic growth FTW... until it stalls and reality hits you like a brick lol. But hey, milk it while it lasts.
Why not go back to physical servers in your garage while you're at it? 😂 Keep up with the times or you'll be left behind. K8s is the LEAST you can do!
Seen too many jump too soon. Stick with the 9-5 until the side hustle makes at least 50-75% of your current salary for a few consecutive months. Better safe than sorry, right?

How are you planning on balancing the increased costs with keeping things affordable? And what's your unique selling proposition? Without a detailed plan, it may be hard to survive in the …
Retention rates? Just make a decent product, lol. If your stuff is good, why wouldn't they stay? This metric obsession is just fluff to look busy.

I've been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. Burnt out after chasing that 'next big thing.' Startups can be good, but glamorizing overwork is toxic. Sustainability > Sleep deprivation.
Not wrong, majority are gonna flop. Sad truth. Running out of cash or not getting the right investors on board sinks a lot of ships. Not to mention, the burnout rate is crazy. Succeeding in this game is a mixture of skill, timing and dumb luck.
Totally agree. Half the time, these 'innovations' are just recycled ideas with extra steps. Throwing in buzzwords like 'blockchain' or 'AI-powered' doesn't hide the fact that they haven't solved a real problem
