thoughts on pursuing Financially Independent Retire Early (FIRE) vs Startups.


Why i think it's helpful to think this way.


Will definitely add that to the roadmap!


That's the dream - well done you've opened the door for a ton more solopreneurs!


Definitely heard – tldr was absolutely only in the context of "building product".

Re: > Once I internalised this, I stopped caring about clean code, perfection, and judging the value of my apps myself.

I think I meant shifting more to customer centric valuation. Should have been more clear.


I was thinking of adding that line! "Kill your darlings" is like kill the weak products that make no value!


Definitely – I guess I was going for "building product" more than writing code.


Heard definitely. I guess I was trying to liken "building product" to "writing a passion piece". Definitely not all writing vs all coding should have been more clear.


Befriending these kids and seeing them win definitely helps. Also meeting their parents - they did a great job.


Hi everyone, I created Aimless to change how we view our code after hours. Tired of my side projects feeling like more work, I wanted a theme that made coding beautiful and distinct from my day job. Aimless, with its dark pastel palette, does exactly that. I hope you enjoy a fresh perspective on your personal projects!
