#buildinpiblic Day 73 - no vid today. We're not hitting the conversion rates we want. It's time to reposition again into something people are actually interested in.

Haha you're crazy for doing that. You might be onto something though. I'm pretty tempted to follow in your footsteps.

I worry that I'll offend people unfollowing them honestly.

Fair point. I think values are great when there is heavy founder involvement to drive them. Once companies become professionally managed, that passion dies, and the values become appropriated for internal politics.

Your values are what your values are I'm not a fan of company values. They are often only created as a box ticking exercise by leadership, and are frequently employed as a handy virtue signal to mask deeper organizational issues.

Don't you think the opposite is the more common error? Stagnant, diluted values that are never reassessed.

I wrote a post on it a while back.

I feel well suited to weigh in here, since we're trying to replace Gantt charts with a top 10.

Getting companies to move from parallel prioritisation (five number one priorities) to any sort of real prioritisation (5 things in order) is extremely difficult.

The number itself isn't a huge issue.

Great advice. Many huge companies grew quickly because they were able to focus on a single channel

Why there are so many men indie hackers and very few women out there? Is it just because we tend to be more stupid brave?

I have studied mechanical engineering then worked in aerospace jet engine manufacturing. My entire life was around men dominated groups. Maybe it's me. #buildinpublic

This feels like a good product idea. It's a big unknown for a lot of people.

Nice one!

#buildinpublic Day 68 - In most small tech companies, product decisions are made by the CTO.

They often don't have product people.
