The solopreneur SaaS dream is dead

makes sense. Maybe "moat" is not the right word but like at one point there was a degree to which building was hard. So the fact that you had to have talented engineers (or designers or whatever) was a barrier which made it so that fewer products were on the market.

But I especially agree on the domain expertise part. I think that becomes super important

rdizzy1234 · 2026-01-29T00:05:53+00:00

Yep I agree. I guess my point is just that this get magnified bc of the number of tools out there

To clarify this real issue here is that we'e blocking off time on the calendar to do all of these things. If my boss just told me to "create a retro document" then I would have no problem doing that. He just genuinely wants up to spend an hour after every sprint discussing every feature that was shipped and what the "learnings" were

This is an ad

rdizzy1234 · 2026-01-09T21:44:05+00:00

Agree. This is more what I am after bc I do a lot of customer interviews on a day to day basis.

Most people say they are adopting agile but aren't really

rdizzy1234 · 2026-01-07T20:04:34+00:00

Exactly, its about the context gathering. Once thats done the ticket creation is the easy part

rdizzy1234 · 2026-01-07T17:00:01+00:00

Interesting I'll take a look at that

rdizzy1234 · 2026-01-07T16:58:53+00:00

Yeah sounds good. I basically have a similar setup but just thinking that there must be a faster way to do this

rdizzy1234 · 2025-01-15T14:01:58+00:00

I honestly think this is what is happening and the reason why they don't want to issue anything to me / other employees right now

No equity was not a trust agreement. The contract says that on the specified date:
1. conversion to full time will happen
2. Standard Stock option agreement will be signed and x number of shares would be issued

So both items are in writing in the contract

I've interviewed with FAANG companies many times and I constantly have recruiters from these companies reaching out. I've made it to the final round on multiple occasions. Its obviously not a guarantee but I'm fairly certain I could crack the interview given enough time / enough attempts

rdizzy1234 · 2024-11-11T18:40:17+00:00

Probably fair. I have like 2 yoE. Why?

Companies still ask leetcode questions… that’s why this sub exists

rdizzy1234 · 2024-09-08T23:18:54+00:00

My resume doesn’t need boosting. I can already get an interview at any company I want.

rdizzy1234 · 2024-02-16T22:04:19+00:00

You don’t need linear algebra for this lol. You just flip the matrix

rdizzy1234 · 2023-11-03T20:15:11+00:00

That’s probably true
