My favourite indie hacker advice

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.

-- Richard Feynman

  • "I'm going to launch and everyone is going to shower this with upvotes!"
  • "I'll just ship this thing and customers will definitely throw money at me!"
  • "Of the thousands of ideas I already had this is the great one I will follow through on!"

      Another Feynman quote: "if it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong."

      So you gotta experiment. I think that's the only way to know which ideas are foolish and which are great. Let reality be the guide.

        I agree, every action I take nowadays I do with the thought in my head "I can better fail a 1000 times to know what works and doesn't".

  2. 1

    Build it for the right reason.
