Folks are asking me how I generated this transcript. ☝️

I used Descript, and it's awesome: https://app.descript.com/r/HkLbabKnG

Been chewing on this Seth Godin podcast for the past couple of days.

This episode especially:

@dimasc_io Building in public is only helpful if it's a meaningful differentiator. It's like everything else. It's all based on what the rest of the market is doing. 😉

You could be working on something the market doesn't want. Every day you work on it, you're wasting your time.

On the flip-side, you might be on the right track. In which case, you'll need the endurance to go the difference.

Again, the challenge is knowing which path you're on.

Just heard an early version of @iamashley's @MicroConf Europe talk.

It's full of practical tips, real-life stories, and great takeaways for building a bootstrapped business.

You folks attending #microconf in Croatia are lucky to hear from her! 🙌

@rskopecek Agreed!

@ianlandsman Oh great! 😜

There are two things that will kill a bootstrapped company:

1. Working on the wrong idea and burning out.

2. Burning out while working on the right idea.

The trick, of course, is to know which camp you're in! 😅

Bootstrapping good. VC bad.” https://twitter.com/indievc/status/1042479484379652096

@cicichirinos Dang! That must be really frustrating.

@flybayer Whoa! Sweet.

@danmartell Thanks for sharing it Dan! 🙌

@wardsandler @jeremysliew @asmartbear 😮

@HelenRyles Yes! 🙌

@paulgambill @noridoteco How's your experience on Republic been so far?

@JamesP I just started using it too 👌

@PaulAntWilliams @Swizec It's still a pretty small organization:

Linux Foundation: ~175 employees

Wowser.

What do you folks think about what @YoFolyo is saying here in his podcast?

“I feel like where marketers have been putting their efforts is where there is the most market fatigue.”

@garrettdimon You still subscribing to feeds?

@balsamiq That looks amazing!

@carljbusch @jonbuda I'll fix that 😎

@LinhContent thanks. 😄

@kennethn I can't believe that's a real quote, from a sitting president.

@mattcassinelli and @AlexCox talk about those new "Siri shortcuts" introduced at the Sep 12 Apple Event. 

@joeworkman I told you! I'm a dumb developer. 🤣

@tristanbailey That gives me 13 years! I'll be in my 50s. 😁

@SIXLIV3 @wavephp Dang! This looks like it'd be a good conference for a noob php dev like me.

@adamwathan @derrickreimer 😳 goddamn. being a dev is hard.

@derrickreimer I downloaded Visual Studio for Mac, but I'm confused why folks like it for web development.

Everything seems built for .NET or native apps.

Are there some templates / defaults that make it better for web dev?

I'm still using @path as a private network to share photos and videos with family.

😢 Sad to see it go @davemorin!

@mattcassinelli @alancassinelli 👍

@gilcreque Totally

@Palleas Does it support LastPass?

I think this post is resonating because the "reality of bootstrapping" is quite different from people's perceptions.

@mattcassinelli Yes! We just mentioned you km our podcast today. 😄

📰 The Washington Post is 132 years older than Minecraft.
🎮 But Minecraft sold for 10x more.

(Minecraft currently has 75 million monthly users, Washington Post has ~75 million readers)

2014: Washington Post (est. 1877) sells for $250 million
2018: Time (est. 1923) sells for $190 million

2012: Lucasfilm (est. 1971) sells for $4.1 billion
2014: Minecraft (est. 2009) sells for $2.5 billion

🤔 Crazy to see how little $ these old media brands are being sold for.

@nbashaw Do you think they know something the rest of us don't? Feels like a big move!

Those #AppleEvent commercials are super smart.

They help people visualize how the product fits into their lives.

Folks go from: "I don't need that..."

To: "Oh wait, that use-case does it for me."
