Who would win? Series B company with $70M in funding and 60 employees? Or one man and his side-project that he works on for fun in between taking care of his kids and flying jets
@zack_overflow One of these terminals has a login screen and the other does not. That's all you need to know.
@zack_overflow Not a zero-sum game. They can both win.
@zack_overflow Let’s remember that this “one man” is the founder of Hashicorp not a mere mortal 😂
@zack_overflow hello zack, this is v from future. The guy with the side project wins. Buy stonks
@zack_overflow Pretty inspirational post for me in the various oss side projects lol
@zack_overflow before, the big company. now with ai, if the lone guy really loves what he does for fun in his free time... he could definitely win
@zack_overflow Ok but this is not fair we are talking abt mitchell here lool the guy who build hashicorp
@zack_overflow @harkl_ what’s the tldr @harkl_ I liked warp but got over it What’s the dadveloper product?
@zack_overflow No amount of money is a sufficient substitute for unhindered autism
@zack_overflow side project, and it's not even close. He'll get bought out by the serise B company just before their next raise
@zack_overflow one man on his side project. every time. been on both sides and I left my VC funded startup to go indie, never coming back.
@zack_overflow Is the side project dude the guy that pledged over 300,00$ to Zig foundation?
@zack_overflow I prefer any one that doesn’t require invite codes and exclusive access.
@zack_overflow Neither. Some grad who goes to a YC fund-raiser and clones the 1 man repo while selling the ideas from the $70M company.
@zack_overflow Provided those commits are real The commitment, love, and sheer brainpower of the one will crush the 60 every time
@zack_overflow The overhead for 60 employees just looks like risk, imo
@zack_overflow I don't know about flying jets, but I have a CLI tool which gives all of Warp's "AI" features to you for free 😁 x.com/thewritingdev/…
@zack_overflow If he works on it for fun, why is he so concerned with winning?
@zack_overflow The jet flying guy had already won. Competition close.
@zack_overflow Who would win? A Fortune 500 tech giant with 11,000 employees and a monopoly on calculators or A barefoot hippie who thinks LSD fixes computers + his weirdly brilliant friend who can't talk to humans?
@zack_overflow Side project for fun between taking care of kids: nearly 5000 commits per year 🤔
@zack_overflow Both can win in different markets
@zack_overflow Flexing on the developers and the poor
@zack_overflow never doubt the solo dev, lichess.org outperforming chess.com is my favorite example of this. youtube.com/watch?v=7VSVfQ…
