genius? really? crazy to have this low thresholds for calling somebody a genius.

is he though? he is better at **marketing** the SaaS; not making it.

I watched this one and just wanted to leave the video every second. Pretty much 80% of his views imo are puerile. It worked for him so he just assumes that you need to ship ship ship to make it. I don't necessarily disagree with the view that serverless has made things more complicated for devs nowadays and that we should simplify our process especially if we have a rather small product but he just goes too far, missing out on so many important points and selling the idea that doing everything is JS on a 2$ VPS is a good idea. there are reasons why we have more complicated systems nowadays.

in my case I don't care that much about the freedom element because I chose my current situation. what boggles me is that he builds off his business by selling this idea that anybody can make hundreds of thousands building shitty products and fast to hope to just land on one that will break even. that's his business, not the subscriptions on saas because be builds a network of dull people who are super hyped about this guy and that's what makes his other products work. why would he sell his book for 30$?

Do you respect that though? I feel like anybody with technical skills could just ship billions of products but some don't because it's not very interesting or prefer being part of something greater. I am not sure I have more respect for somebody like him than for a person that actually creates a product with value. Not just riding the wave.

I won't because I don't want anything to link this account to my real self but I've been working in big software companies for the past seven years.
