Sell yourself, sell your work (solipsys.co.uk)
Doing technically brilliant work may be enough for your personal gratification, but you should never think it's enough. If you lock yourself in a room and do the most marvellous work but don't tell anyone, then no one will know, no one will benefit, and the work will be lost. You may have derived personal satisfaction from it, but as far as the wider world is concerned, you may as well not have bothered.

1k True Fans (2008) (kk.org)
To be a successful creator you don’t need millions. You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of customers, millions of clients or millions of fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor you need only thousands of true fans.

Ask HN: How to stop Google from autocorrecting our company name? (ycombinator.com)
Our small cloud consulting company Autimo has been facing a frustrating issue with Google searches. Whenever potential clients try to search for our company name “Autimo,” Google automatically corrects it to “autismo,” which is obviously not ideal for our brand.

Ask HN: How to use social media as an indie dev? (ycombinator.com)
I'm an independent developer looking to launch a project soon that I'm excited about. I'll obviously post it here as a Show HN, and maybe in a few subreddits - but I'm out of the loop on where and how to reach more people. Haven't had a Facebook or other social media for years. I don't maintain a blog, though I assume I should. Does anyone have any resources or can speak to any experience doing this?

I'm broke and non-technical, trying to develop tech startup (ycombinator.com)
Before COVID, I started a marketing and consulting services in Nepal, which failed horribly leaving some thousand in debt. Since, I'm trying to develop a product for high school graduates and entrepreneurs to help finding out PMF and FMF, leaving no burden to start their journey as I've been there. I'm 22 now and the most productive age is slipping out of hand.
