When I got into SAAS, I thought it went like this:
- Build a project you have in your head
- Profit
No one told me about validation, marketing, and sales! And I only figured it out 6 months after coding up my first project, finding 0 users. Why is it so hard to understand the importance of these concepts for programmers? It’s like we insist on only learning them after we fail.
^^^ that.
The other thing that became evident was in the movie one of his best friends (Severin) had wealthy parents that bankrolled the spiraling server costs in the early days, How many people are going to be in that position?
