Why do you work at a startup?

Hey hunters! There are a lot of startupers here. And it is interesting for me why people choose to work for a startup. Personally, I like opportunity to learn something new everyday. My work is quite flexible so my responsibilities could change. And I really like it! What about you? Why have you decided to work at a startup? What is your favorite part of working for a startup?

AMA: I made $1200 from my first ebook helping people build profitable side projects

I have made profitable SaaS earlier, profitable newsletter and community too. This is my first time doing around an Ebook - https://zerotofounder.co/ The book is primarily for people to help build profitable side projects. I picked Notion by choice as this will more of a living document than a stale Ebook. There are some big content updates planned. Happy to answer anything. It's not traditional book though. It's a book with exact notes without any fluff. It covers below topics: - SaaS is not the only option to generate revenue/recurring revenue - How to launch on PH, Betalist and experiment faster - Where to find users - How to find some good ideas - List of places to post about your product - Marketing & Growth - Dev founder vs Non-Tech founders - and a lot of other topics too (roughly close to 200 varied questions)

What's your favorite perk of WFH?

Hey, hunters! Many of us work from home or in a hybrid system. If that's your case: what's your favorite perk of working from home? My top reasons: - Wearing comfy clothes - Avoiding the commute - Being able to travel! I'm currently in Europe for a month, and that wouldn't have been possible if I worked in-office.

New Canva competitor is coming

Looks like Microsoft wants a slice of Canva's growing pie. That's for sure better (for us) than buying it out. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/12/...

What kind of AI-based tools are you using?

I started using Copilot from GitHub. The experience was a bit painful in the beginning, but now I feel it helps me a lot. (Copilot helps while writing code) I even use it to create Google Sheet functions as it uses GPT-3 and can do more than code. What kind of tools are you using and to what extent? I'd love to have some recommendations.
