no hate but if I’m 35 smth making mini apps I’d re evaluate my life *very seriously*

love's gonna get you killed
but pride's gonna be the death of you, and you and me and you and you and me

if work gives me purpose, 
if ambition drives my life more than god or kids, 
if i have dreams unfulfilled from the time you were 12, 
if i am nowhere near to your $$ goals, 
if i am still delusional about building products / being a founder but somehow still a small timer 

i'd seriously re-evaluate building for 30K users. but that's just me. none of what i say is true. it's just my belief. 

felt strongly, held loosely.

Counterpoint:

Maybe we need more smart people making "mini businesses". Ayn Rand type stuff with builders focusing on niche products where they focus on 1-2 man teams and bootstrap a product from $0 a $10M business first.

We might be making a new market category of millions of new "mini businesses". No VC money. No 10 year exits. Just lock in with a few thousand users, zyns, Claude code, and token launches today.

more likely. if you're doing it as a side hobby because you just love building then nothing truly like it. there's joy from things that are personal to us. but if you haven't *arrived* in your own world/definition, then i 100% believe it's a losing move

agree re tam of miniapps not being 1b+ business opportunities right now.

maybe misinterpreted your cast as more broad than that re making mini apps at all

That is to say building most things doesn’t matter, it’s ego driven analysis.

Or building everything matters and they’re all part of the momentum. I think #2 leads to a happier view on life.

But memecoin trading is stupid, I’m firm on that.

it’s an order of magnitude better than trading memecoins, but either way implies building the vast majority of things somehow makes a person better in life.

tipping != connecting people (my ai goal)

Connecting people != saving lives (medtech goal)

building most apps for a lot of people is no different in terms of meaningful impact vs profitability
