No one cares

A hard part of building a product is that no one cares. Your friends dont care. Your family doesnt care. No one cares to try it out.

I just launched it to the app store, and pasted a link in my family group chat. No one cares. I think thats what being the oldest comes with.

You really got to do this shit for yourself. Not a soul in the world cares.

This brought me the realization that the love for building is not the love for the end product, but rather the love for the process of making something. In hindsight, it is obvious. its the journey not the destination bla bla bla.

But people will come and go. I dont know how these b2b founders do it. How can you obsess over something you dont use.

I hear all this talk about "launch fast" and "listen to your users." Fuck that.

Launch something for people to use when you think is ready. The contrast between your cards and the gradient is that important. If people have one bad impression with your product, they will never think about it again.

This dogma behind launching fast is something I wont abide by unless I experience it myself. Fuck listening to advice on how to do things.

Do what you want and learn from those experiences. Everything is just noise.

Being a founder is ultimately not for the people. Its a constant battle against yourself to create something you are proud of. If it cant even match your own expectations, how will it match others.

People's time and attention is brittle. You are just a number to these people. They do not care about you.

This nihilistic thinking is the only thing keeping me afloat.
