Stop building for broke, time-rich tech creatives on Twitter. Go build a boring spreadsheet replacement for someone who owns a plumbing company. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/p/the-indie-hacker-economy-is-a-pyramid

  • @Daojoan@mastodon.social yes well said! A lot of takes I've seen on how AI will destroy the software industry seemed to be written by people who ... Make software for other developers. Which is maybe 1% of all software really. The people who maintain the health appointment booking system in Normandy are still going to have to maintain the health appointment booking system in Normandy.

    @Daojoan@mastodon.social been saying it for years: programming should be boring because all challenges are already taken care of and (thus) risk/pay for a mistake is low AF

    RE: https://josemurilo.com/2026/06/07/cultural-heritage-digital-collections-unwelcome-guests-on-social-media-homeowners-on-the-social-web/ @Daojoan@mastodon.social The #indiehacker economy keeps building tools for itself. But the most interesting version of this story happens when #civilservice starts absorbing these #opensource solutions into #publicpolicy infrastructure. The library and the museum, the universities, the local government clerk — they all have the same broken spreadsheet problem. The tools already exist, they're open, and they could power real #digitalsovereignty. The adoption just hasn't caught up. https://josemurilo.com/2026/06/07/cultural-heritage-digital-collections-unwelcome-guests-on-social-media-homeowners-on-the-social-web
