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.

    Here are some of my thoughts on X(Twitter) yesterday. I hope they inspire you.

    START MARKETING THE DAY YOU START CODING!

    In today’s fast-paced tech world, it is realized that building new features isn’t the be-all and end-all.
    - Tough but essential lesson: The heart of product success isn’t just in the code; it’s in market fit and user engagement.
    - Talking to real users and understanding their needs is more crucial than ever.
    - Yes, we love to code, but if we’re building features that aren’t requested by paying customers, are we really creating value?
    Remember, stepping out of our comfort zone and facing potential rejection from the market can be daunting, but it’s a necessary step towards true innovation and profitability.
    Let’s not just code. Let’s connect!
