I remember when I setup my blog (Jan 2020), I was really happy that finally after several months I was ready to begin my journey as an indie maker. I was decided to start something similar to the 12 startups in 12 months from Pieter Levels.
Nevertheless, first, I had to finish a major refactor on my startup that was supposed to take me 2 months (I was a little upset because the 12 startup journey now was going to start in February and not January (poor me, believing that this was important)).
I knew that something was going on, the startup guys on twitter (sometimes a little bit ahead of trends) were discussing the early Wuhan coronavirus reports since January and there were a lot of videos on tiktok from Wuhan showing what was happening in the streets. Everything was unclear until I saw Balajis talking about the covid.
So I never really finished my startup refactor, I spend part of February and March convincing my parents and friends about the virus and preparing my family for the possibility of a global pandemic (move some of my stuff from my apartment to my parents house, farewell with some close friends, etc) . Then, suddenly almost every country announced their lock downs. Then I spent my time doing some anti covid projects and some digital transformation projects for the economy (nothing really workout).
After that, a really cool startup from friends recruit me, I did believe on what they were building so I joined them for a couple (spoiler, it was much more time). And at some point I come back to the blog to write the "zero post", but apparently something happened. This is what I found today (September 7, 2020)
I'm still working for that startup and I tell myself that this is the reason why I have not shipped nothing in these months, but that is false. I worked on some little projects but I never finish them or release them to the public (hope there is a group for people like that). So I think it was because I was hoping to create something perfect (what is an MVP anyways?), now the plan is to ship continuously (a little of "fail fast, fail often, fail forward"), I'll expand this idea later.
