Hi, I'm Justin Jackson

I write a newsletter about bootstrapping, the good life, building calm companies, business ethics, creating a better society, and introspecting the tech industry.

My work has been featured in:

Can you bootstrap a startup on the side? – I wrote this when Transistor was new, and not making much revenue.
Let's start about startup costs – a topic that doesn't get discussed enough in the business community.
When should you move on? – how to decide when it's time to quit a project.
How to build something people want – a step by step guide.
This is a webpage – by far the most popular thing I’ve written, it’s been translated into 16 different languages and was featured by Net Magazine, Smashing Magazine, A List Apart, The UX Podcast, Rands, and T3N Magazine.
Focus on your own shit – an older piece I originally wrote for Medium.
Things I’ve quit doing at my desk – this post was later published on Lifehacker and in the Hacker Monthly magazine.
I’m a f*cking webmaster – a nostalgic piece about the early internet. Featured on CBC Radio’s Spark.
