Day 422 - Slow growth - https://golifelog.com/posts/slow-growth-1645843411505
I’m been enamoured by the concept of slow growth lately.
The idea runs head on against the typical Silicon Valley hyper-growth culture, that if you’re not developing and growing your product by 10x every month, then you’re doing it wrong.
Move fast and break things, they say.
Even if I don’t harbour any ambitions of building the next $100B unicorn, there’s still a social pressure of having to move fast within the indie hacking circles.
These narratives tire me.
Yes, I want to make a living off my products, but not have to live at such a crazy pace. I enjoy coding, but don’t want it to take over my every waking hour. I love marketing, but don’t want to be on Twitter 24/7.
I want to grow things mindfully. At a pace that works for me and my lifestyle.
Move slow and grow things.
Slow growth.
