Learned how to cut my own hair during the pandemic. Now I get to cut my hair weekly and feel great about how I look. Plus I saves $1000’s a year in haircuts. Probably one of my better pandemic accomplishments tbh.

My house is anything but quiet! Structuring my own schedule is the appeal of WFH for me. This overarching idea from has legs though. The taste of freedom of WFH rocks. And Indie Hacker life is even better 😎.

i don't get how people can do serious thinking without a quiet environment. i'm pretty happy in any quiet, calm office with natural or very good artificial light, but i struggle to think in loud spaces. i wonder how much people liking WFH is this without realizing it.
Boomers ask authorities (Books, News) Gen-X asks human-curated directories (Yahoo) Millennials ask algorithms (Google) Gen-Z asks other people at scale (Tik Tok) Gen Alpha will ask AI.
A lot of programmers in their 50s and 60s today are working on *nix, COBOL, telecom, etc. When I'm in my 50s, does that mean I'm going to be working on legacy Javascript SAAS apps? 💀

Elon’s life is literally a video game. Except even in Sim City I eventually got bored and quit. This guy is just grinding straight to the endgame, where the game rules break and infinite potential unlocks. It’s awesome to watch.

With each new generation, communication style relaxes: cursive > handwriting > digital > double space after periods > all lowercase letters We seek quicker emotional payoffs: reading > film > tv > youtube > tiktok …how does it end? Chips in our brains probably. 🤖

This premise surprised me this morning, but I’m even more surprised how many people in this thread dismiss the idea. Low key convinced Google and Email are boomer now 😵‍💫

Just had an interesting discussion with my 18 year old son. He says, "I don't know a single person my age that reads blog posts or checks their email." His point? He thinks I'm crazy for focusing my business on blogging and email subscribers. What do you think?

There's a lot going on right now that dulls happiness and optimism - war, politics, financial crisis... This downturn in the markets in particular really affects my general mental health. It's times like these I love the Persian adage "this too shall pass"

Payday just doesn't quite hit the same when the "pay" is a transaction from the business checking account to the personal checking account. But every day of self employment is a great day 😎.
