This coding principle also applies to various aspects of building a company.
Provide value for $ as early as possible - everything else is a distraction.

Our team is the best. We’re small & bootstrapped, but we aim for a welcoming, inclusive environment for employees & students.
We’re very fortunate to have Lynda on the team 💜. She’s always helping students 1 on 1, which is tremendously helpful.

Got off a zoom meeting with a student. Hearing her laugh & say how much fun the meeting was, is everything to me. I get this sensational feeling like I am making a difference. We have so much to get done but my experience here at @debugacademy has been by far the best experience.
I build things I want to buy. I don’t do market validation beyond that.
Do you validate demand for your product before building it? If yes, would love to hear how.

I made it out 2 days in a row. AMA.
I don’t have time to ride daily w/teaching, consulting, product-building & family. Delayed some product work today.
But I plan to at least be more mindful of what i consume, go on meeting-walks, and bike a few times each week.

I’ve been working crazy hours for years & my health has suffered. Lately my 6 year old’s expressed concern about my weight a few times. ❤️ him.
What good is running a company if it takes away my ability to run with my kids?
I need to prioritize my health, too.

Student after calling w/code q’s:
“Thank you so much. I’m going to take classes from you every year. I added your company to our organization so that everyone can get approval for your trainings easily in the future.”

“The market believes winners can be much bigger but not necessary that there will be more winners” 🎯
IMO the market (most VCs) are wrong.
Easier than ever to #buildInPublic. More economical for more specialized niche #SaaS products. More winners.

A lot of people are misunderstanding this VC funding market
More money is flowing into market but the increase is not evenly distributed
The market believes winners can be much bigger but not necessary that there will be more winners
It’s still very hard for most to raise VC💰

Each student's gaps are different. This is where mass-produced courses can be weaker.

Hiring a new team member for @DebugAcademy this wk
Training is part-time in nature. So our team members can rotate working on our SaaS idea when we aren't training (or working on contracts).
Our training+contract work enables building while remaining profitable
