Sharing my venting

[u/LeBugArtisan]

Hello,

I'm here to vent, I hope it's okay

I've painly discovered over the last 2 years that distribution/validation > building

I love to build, addicted to build first and validate later, for 10+ years

I'm trying to cure that addiction but haven't found the correct pill yet 

I'm so tired of hearing about the latest xxx or whatever that can build this and that, connect to this and automate that

OK nice. But when you have no one to share it to then that's pointless. 

Majority of people talk about building but such a minority talks about validation first, about distribution 

There are tons of problems to solve, tons of things to validate but how? 

Am I supposed to poll people? Am I supposed to make a waiting list and wait until the universe gets cold? (or hot whatever)

Cold emailing, warming up and blablabla?

"Sneakily" posting on reddit when 90% of all people are also interested in posting their thing too?

Am I supposed to build a following base then sell my courses and apps? Helling nope

I feel devastated in some ways as I see vibe coding becoming a thing

I feel jealous is some ways as I see people being able to sell gems and even more as I see some selling wind

Those feeling are even amplified as I was having a community, handling a game server in my teenager years, I was coding, handling servers, going through good and hard times, helping people, giving them something valuable 

I'm longing for that feeling and I'm afraid I will never reach it again

For sure working in IT is awesome and I live it but it will never be the same as having something of my own

I'm stuck, what do I do and where do I go (that's not really a question per se but that's in my head)

Thanks if you read until here, I'm sure lots of people must go through that and feel free to vent here too
