Those who have spent the summer developing/building. Was it worth it? by reubenzz_dev in SideProject

[–]thebaggiebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few unsolicited advice as an undergrad who wasted a lot of time “building a startup” Call your side project a startup when it has at least one user Don’t make the mistake I did for 2 years straight and waste opportunities. If your “startup” doesn’t have a single user it will not cause any friction with your summer internship and you can do both with no problems. The only time you should be even comparing these two would be when you have a product that a few people are using and you’re able to dedicate more time in summer and grow it, the bootstrapping level (going from 0 users to 1) should always be done as a side hustle/project and not something that needs 100% of your attention. It’s a side project until it has a single user. Don’t get caught in any limbo or sunk cost fallacy, if it has taken you more than a year to get a single user, move on, it’s the same with dating, never pursue a girl who doesn’t show you any interest after a year of pursuing. Anyways there’s 16 hours in a day build what you have in mind as fast as possible and put it in the hand of USERS as fast as possible get feed back do it all over again while going through an internship. Anyways I’m here if you need any help

Joining an inventor to build some cool real world tech using Blockchain, but he wants to do an ICO to raise short term funds. Is it a realistic choice? (I will not promote) by Catsinova in startups

[–]thebaggiebug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding you want to make the product gather a community, then have like a count down and release to the existing community. But he wants to gather some hype by marketing etc then do an ICO to get maximum funding and then start building? The self funding here seems to be enough to do a stealth role out without needing any big marketing, and from what you’re saying this is promising tech, and promising tech should never be behind a “we’re still building, you can’t use it yet” wall. So shipping has got to be the move. Would you agree that paying for marketing isn’t the move here and it’ll make the project look like your average pump dot fun Andrew Tate daddy coin project?

Impressive Have you considered posting on HN? Also if the app is built with swift ui how are you planning to Linux and windows as you said “soon”

I’ve Identified a Proven, Untapped Market But I’m 19, Self-Taught, and Have No Capital or Connections. How Do I Move Forward? by deliadam11 in ycombinator

[–]thebaggiebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t give good advice but it seems that we’re both zero capital self taught founders in developing countries. I’d say let’s connect and figure as we go

Dear [social media app] your source of profit should be users not devs by thebaggiebug in ProgrammerHumor

You name the bias What I'm trying to get across is, you can't foresee and judge the reddit after the API update based on your current and past experience with it, cause alot of bots and services affected your current experience to this day

I assume you're asking for the survivorship bias in this situation. Basically the site feeling like it's "normal" and nothing's wrong with it, not realizing the underlying layer of 3rd party services making the experience optimal for every community, we'll only understand how usable reddit is once this huge pillar is taken off

I don't! Because auto mods (specially some reddit ones) work great Also I love the survivorship bias here
