The future of indiehacking
Even now GPT4 can help people get from 0 to 1 a lot quicker for skills such as coding, content creation, etc.
Those who are at 1 (intermediate, tinkerers) will quickly become 10 (creators, hustlers). And those at 10 will get to 100 (output machines).
This means that learning to code for the sake of coding no longer has the same ROI as it used to. The truth is if you are just entering you will be competing against 10x and 100x devs. The same can be said for almost any skill as well, like content creation, etc.
However, planning for a synergetic strategy where you combine multiple new skills that have compounding interests and multiplier effects is now the best ROI for your time.
That means picking a few skills that could potentially have very little correlation and combining them to create new hyper niches.
To find those combinations you can choose things you are already interested in but felt like never had the time or reason to learn.
What do you guys think are really good skill combinations?
E.g. content creation + coding + day trading
skill 1 + skill 2 + skill 3 that creates hyper niches, or it could also just be domains like
geopolitics + story telling + animations + ....
honestly, I don't know. I like your perspective, but with things being so dynamic I absolutely have no idea.
I also agree with this. So hard to forecast the future right now. Best skill is staying nimble.
I'm not so sure about the premise. That aside, in my experience, the combination of hard science (bio, chem, materials, food, etc) with coding or stats/ML is super rare and super valuable. Pair that with LLM-boosted learning and productivity and it's a rocket ship.
Yea thats exactly the kind of conversation I want to have now-days, bio + coding is for sure going to be massive once we start making significant movements into personal health-tech. Regarding the premise, is just that I think if I continuing trying to build SaaS and invest time in that, it's not as good as, say, investing into learning a specific part of chemistry and then making a synergy around that. What would be your best forecast about the indiehacking space in 3 years from now?
I'm with @BahauddinAziz on this one - right now, I can barely get my head around the next week, so forecasting 3 years out seems like a fool's errand. I would come at it from a different angle - what problem are you fascinated by or passionate about?
