Just read through that Maker vs Indiehacker post on IH. I won’t even link it because it’s such a load of bollocks. The biggest irony is that while all these people are pontificating over culture and nomenclature, I spent the day coding and watching Stripe payments roll in.
Who actually cares what they are called? This feels like high school in the 90s where you either hung out with the dance music clique or the metal music clique. Apparently you weren’t allowed to be both.
I don’t know if I’m an Indiehacker or a Maker. I spend about 0% of my day thinking about. Maker is faster to type, I know that much. They are both ambiguous, broad terms. It’s like trying to define “what is an entrepreneur”? Who cares?

1/ I’ve had a few days to reflect on the last 4 months of my startup challenge and I think it’s time for a pivot / recalibration

Thread 👇🏻
2/ The challenge began with me wanting to practice execution again, after almost 3 years in a senior corporate role where I didn’t touch any code. I missed building things, had the luxury of free time, so it seemed like a good goal to just “practice shipping”.
3/ Now, after 4 consistent launches in 4 months I feel I’ve proved to myself I’ve still got the knack. I can still build and ship a decent MVP within a given time constraint. But I’m not happy.

Not many people go from launch to sustaining lifestyle in just a couple of months. Maybe that happens to some in survivorship-bias-land. But back in the real world it takes a lot longer. My last SaaS took 6+ months to get to just a few thousand $ MRR.
And that was when I was focused on ONE SaaS product and spent a good amount of time on content marketing every day.
I’ve said many times that revenue isn’t my short term goal. I’ve launched a free open source app, an app that charges $1, an app that has pricing but isn’t charging anything yet, and a job board in a competitive niche. These aren’t the actions of someone focused on revenue 😅

Without a doubt, yes. But then who is to say which strategy is right? Build another MVP or focus on an existing one? I feel like I will “know” when it’s the right time to really focus.
In the end whether you’re successful from iterating one product consistently or successful from trying many things and seeing what works - it’s all down to the chaos monkeys anyway 😅
I think the 12 startup method suits me best because I haven’t quite decided what industry / area I want to focus on. So it’s all experimentation. Even if I wanted to focus on one thing I don’t know what that one thing would be. Yet!

1) Everything you didn't want to know about 5G
I need to first thank The American Conclave Intelligence Media for the plethora of information they have compiled on this topic. To fully understand this we must first dive into a few topics. such as RMR, EMF... #deepstate @40_head
2)EMF or Electro Magnetic Force can be natural or artificial. The sun produces natural EMFs the kind we want. Artificial EMF has four categories or basics Magnetic, artificial light, Electric and Microwave. Cellphones and routers produce microwave signals. With EMF a large #Qarmy
3)amount of disease is associated with what is called "Dirty Electricity" The spectrum of EMF which is called "Dirty Electricity" is called EMI or Electro Magnetic Interference and it is very much a undesirable result of EMF. EMI or Dirty Electricity has been @qanon76 #Qanon

If you have never seen this 1981 documentary on KFC in Japan, then it's well worth half an hour of your time, either as an insight into foreign firms trying to crack Japan, or just as a glimpse of the past. /1
One of the nice touches is seeing the Japan manager of Church's Chickens talking up his own firm, and badmouthing KFC, which we can watch in the knowledge that Church's has virtually disappeared without trace. /2
You also get a look at a young Takeshi "Shin" Okawara, who left a safe job at Dainippon Printing to join KFC as it started up in Japan. He was already COO in 1981, and became CEO three years after this film was made. /3

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

1/ Whenever I ask for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, I get this circular-reasoning response:
How do you know that there was no collusion?
My answer: I'm NOT claiming there was no collusion, but I see #ZEROEvidence that Trump colluded. SHOW me your EVIDENCE!
2/ If I were to claim that you murdered someone, I would need to provide evidence of this. My claim does not make it have some sort of merit. If you insist you did not do this and want me to stop pushing such as accusation in public b/c it really did not happen, that makes sense.
3/ Would an innocent person remain silent in the face of a massive campaign by those who don't like that person making unsubstantiated claims? Would they not want to put an end to it? If I were #Trump, I would want this thing shut down too as it looks to be a witch hunt.
