    Old but gold video where @csallen talks about the various "startup landscapes" that you will encounter on your Indie Hacker journey.

    The Landscapes

    1. The Startup Runway of Almost Certain Death (about maximizing how long you can survive)
    2. The El Dorado Of Ideas (about finding ideas. The obvious gold has already been found. To find new gold, you have to dig deeper.)
    3. The Climbing Wall Of Growth (growth isn't exponential, it's more like a climbing wall)
    4. The Living Room Of Vision (if you know there's a diamond somewhere in the living room, you will look hard and never give up. that diamond is your vision)
