I'm 39 (almost 40).
At 25: "I'll be happy when I get senior dev, €100k, FAANG..."
At 39: Still working 9-5, never made FAANG, launched 8 SaaS products instead.
The lesson? Stop climbing ladders. Build your own.
Stop waiting for permission. Ship every day.

Old indie hacker playbook:
- Spend 6 months building
- Launch once on Product Hunt
- Hope for virality
- Give up after 2 weeks
New indie hacker playbook:
- Ship in 2 weeks
- Build in public daily
- Talk to users constantly
- Iterate forever
Consistency is the ultimate hack.

Balance isn't about choosing work or life.
It's about designing a day that has both.

Hot take: Engaging with others > posting content.
80% engagement, 20% posting.
That's the ratio that grew my audience.
Stop shouting into the void.
Start having real conversations.
The algorithm rewards genuine connections.

I am almost 40 years old (21st Dec).
Still learning to code new things.
Still building products.
Still excited about shipping features.
Age is just a number.
Your passions don't expire.
Start building. It's never too late 🚀

The hardest part of indie hacking isn't building.
It's not marketing.
It's not sales.
It's staying motivated when nobody cares yet.
I launched products to crickets.
Multiple times.
The ones who keep going win.
Simple, not easy.
