Interesting take from one of my heroes/inspirations.

'Solopreneurship is dumb, because you make way less money that VC-funded startups when they exit'

What do you think?

I personally have a lot of mixed feelings on this, but want to hear your thoughts.

NextAuth is one of the most frustrating libraries you can work with as a JS dev.

And I'm not alone in this opinion.

Here's what I think (and what you should use instead):

The docs for NextAuth are extremely difficult to navigate. The library also sits at a very awkward place…

Is there an actual 'Rails for Typescript' yet?

So this would include things like built-in auth, database and user auth provisioning, CLI to generate routes and models, etc.

One of the most common questions I get asked is

'How do I get a tech job?'

And it's a tough one to answer. Especially in this economy.

But here's my 2-cents, coming from someone who's been on both ends of the hiring table at big companies like Meta as well as small seed-staged…

Loom is perhaps the most underrated tool for any creator. Or anyone providing services or products online.

Although it doesn't scale super well as you get more and more customers, it's one of the most surefire way to build trust and a relationship.

My goal for X in 2024:

No more fortune cookies.

Looking back, a big chunk of my posts from last year 'don't sound like me'.

Rather than sticking to my own voice, I borrowed templates from viral posts, imitated creators like Hormozi or Dan Koe, and aimed for 'optimal growth'.…

Unlike the 2021 days, VCs today are increasingly prioritizing cash-flow positive companies.

And encouraging founders to spend drastically less.

If this trend continues, what's stopping these potential VC-backed companies from just going Bootstrapped and refusing any investment?

Praying that 2024 will be the year where Javascript frameworks settle for stability rather than new features.

At the start of 2023, my X account didn't exist.

Fast forward 12 months and here we are at 4960 followers and a series of life-changing experiences.

I'm glad I was able to share useful technical information with hundreds of thousands of people—

And the 30+ people who…

Yesterday, over 20 people recommended me their go-to creators for entrepreneurial content.

Here were the most common answers:

• Alex Hormozi
• Jason Cohen
• Rob Walling
• Arvid Kahl
• Naval

As many pointed out —

Resources are, at the end of the day, still just…

If you had to start over in your entrepreneurial journey and could only consume resources from ONE creator, who would it be?

One basic rule that we often forget as builders:

Go where your audience hangs out.

If you're a solopreneur building productivity apps for teachers, growing on X probably won't help your business.

Or even if it does, not as much as if you were on another platform like Facebook…

The Indie Hacking experience

I've been asked a few times about providing purchase power parity to customers in certain countries/regions.

Does anyone have any experience or advice on this?

This is the landing page for Russel Brunson's Expert Secrets.

It's the funnel that brought him and people like Alex Hormozi tens of millions of dollars.

I wonder if it's just because I'm a millennial, but these sorts of pages seem very off-putting to me.

What are your…

shadcn/ui has by far been the most delightful way to ship UI in my React apps.

If you're seeing this post and curious at all, give it a try.
You won't regret it.

One of the best takes on unit testing came from ThePrimeagen.

If you're in the indie hacker space, you'll often hear people say 'Testing is bullsh*t'. And that it's waste of time.

And most times, it's true.

Most devs I meet on this platform are either UI or full-stack CRUD…

It's here.
