I think, as bootstrappers, we need to abandon the "long slow SaaS ramp of death" trope.
1. That talk is nearly 20 years old (lots has changed)
2. I'm not sure it ever really applied to most successful bootstrapped businesses?
3. For many SaaS I know, the ramp was pretty fast.
My point is, Constant Contact's "ramp" isn't a good model for most indie SaaS founders:https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1366190471374991360 …

The scale isn't but the concept still seems pretty sound to me.

Yes, you're not hiring an engineer every X but bootstrappers still have all the same issues. You have baseline fixed costs (housing, food, etc) and the ramp to cover those is usually long (as in longer than a month or two or 6 usually)
