Comment on Ask HN: Pivot from SWE to What?

Comments

Bro, you got laid off — I actually quit my job.

They kept pushing extra work with zero upside, so I made a call: If I’m going to grind harder, it might as well be for myself, not someone else.

That’s how my indie hacking journey started — and honestly, you can start too.

Right now is the best time to build your own AI SaaS. If you’re into content creation but feel stuck, don’t overthink it — use AI to move faster. It’s not cheating, it’s leverage.

I’ve just started myself. https://youtu.be/BOqNr6a3N_0?si=ntsT22hJGGsbXIqQ

One real talk thing though: This path isn’t easy. Building is the fun part — but marketing + sales matter more than code. Focus there, or the product won’t matter.

If you’re serious, start now. Timing won’t get better.
