yihui_indie · x · 2026-11-13
Indie developer 'yihuiindie' released a solo video podcast drawing on 2.5 years of indie experience: opportunities for internet-industry people in the AI era, engineers' advantages, and a full playbook from finding demand to building products and acquiring customers. He explains why he shifted from content monetization to products, and argues 'building products for agents' is a high-certainty opportunity. Available on YouTube and Bilibili, with a Q&A section.
