Founder gets lectured on indie hacking by a newbie — he helped build that era
devenbhooshan · x · 2026-11-13
A fun indie-hacking anecdote: on a call with a new indie hacker, Utsav Patel mentioned his company is just two people — so the newbie started explaining the indie hacking scene to him, recommending following levelsio, dannypostma and others.
devenbhooshan reshared it with "good old days": he's from the era when Indiehackers was the hangout, Sergio's Makerlog logged daily ships, levelsio's first launch was Play My Inbox (not Nomad List), Nomad List started as a Google spreadsheet, and Danny built Landingfolio on WordPress because he couldn't code yet. A snapshot of generational turnover in the indie dev community.
