I wasn't even trying to get into the startup space. I didn't think that you could build a small product that kind of worked in that market and it could fund your lifestyle, which is with a lot of indie hackers too. So my priority was getting into a big company, getting to Amazon. And somewhere along the line, I was like, hey, when I'm doing an Amazon's fun, but, you know, it's getting old very quickly. Meanwhile, every time I work on stock alarm, I'm up to like midnight and time flies, right?"
Yahia Bakour (@mynameisyahia) talks trading stocks, quitting a $250k/year job at Amazon to become an indie hacker, how to join an existing project as a late cofounder, marketing via SEO, being a night owl vs an early bird, and bootstrapping his revenue to $20k/month with Courtland (@csallen) and Channing (@ChanningAllen).
