How many customers did you get before moving to the building phase of your SaaS?
MARKETING SAAS / APPSCuriously, it always seems to happen with software, as demand for most physical things we can imagine has been validated, if the price is right. Nontechnical founders of tech startups trivialize the building part but tend to build something with a modicum of demand. Technical founders are the...- FierceRacoon

The Anthropic Researcher Who Quit Over AI Fears Isn’t the Only One Sounding Alarm Bells: ‘Things Could Be Out of Control Next Year’
NEWSThere are several schools of thought: 1. "If anyone builds it, everyone dies", an engaging book by E. Yodkowsky and N. Soares about AI wiping out humanity. 2. "The economic singularity" by Calum Chace about AI ending the need to work and the social consequences of mass unemployment. 3. "AI...- FierceRacoon

I think I’ve created a three-legged elephant—or maybe I’m just not persevering enough with marketing?
SIDE HUSTLEAs a developer, if I want to block something, I use the hosts file because then it blocks it across all browsers, and there is no subscription to maintain. Furthermore, as a developer, I know that every intrusive app is a security risk, so if I am installing an extension that knows what I am...- FierceRacoon

How many customers did you get before moving to the building phase of your SaaS?
MARKETING SAAS / APPSOnce I made the mistake of not calculating the costs correctly when I observed an ostensible need for another SAAS. If the customer wants it, it does not mean they want the bare minimum MVP; they may well want all the features the competitors already provide plus some extra. Even with 100...- FierceRacoon

Got Success Anxiety? This Will Help
MINDSETAcceptance is only a partial solution. If you read Nassim Taleb, intrusive thoughts are 'antifragile'. Anything you do about them makes them stronger. Even trying to let go of them by staring at them, because when you wish something away, you are not really accepting it. In my experience, the...- FierceRacoon

Has any of you built a SaaS successfully when you were not familiar at all with the market before starting?
QUESTIONMath mistake alert: from the information provided it cannot be determined whether starting a business in a familiar area is easier or harder. The fact that 3-5% < 70% is irrelevant. How many people have actually tried to start a business in the area they knew nothing about? Say, 700 tried in...- FierceRacoon

Do you want to be a Billionaire?
MINDSETFor an inspiration, read "Dirtbag Billionaire." Yvon Chuinard, the founder of the Patagonia brand, started from zero and gave away his fortune to no-one -- by essentially changing the company into a non-profit whose profits will go towards saving the planet. This is not even counting all the...- FierceRacoon

NEWSDo you want an answer? Many attractive or even slightly cute girls have been approached thousands of times, at all kinds of times, including when they were studying, working, late for a bus, hanging out with their boyfriend, on a phone call, caring for a sick child, you name it.

Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’
NEWSPeople run relationships, and everyone does it differently. In this example, it'd be my worst nightmare if my wife was nagging at my to spend money to upgrade to a better apartment to catch up to some friends. I'd walk away if at all possible. Just like if someone must know how much money I...- FierceRacoon

Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’
NEWSThe dating situation cannot be 'bad' by definition. It is like a marketplace. If renting a decent 1-bedroom costs $3,000, does it make the market 'bad'? No, that is what other people in the market are paying. If landlords have an expectation of doing a credit check and the market tolerates it...- FierceRacoon

Icing injuries no longer recommended
HEALTHMultiple books that I've been reading plainly state that icing an injury such as a sprained ankle is now considered a bad idea --- that it delays healing and in nearly every case provides no tangible benefit other than pain relief (at the cost of delayed healing). Apparently, even the inventor...- FierceRacoon

AI Is Killing The Fastlane Forum
