One of the less obvious skills needed to be a long term indie developer is dauntless optimism.

Every time I launch a new feature I get the feeling that “this is gonna be awesome, folks are gonna absolutely love this”...even though history has taught me it is actually not really true. Most feature launches are greeted more with a “meh” or “hmm, that's interesting"

...which is fine and goes with the job but nevertheless we keep on building, waiting for the “OH WOW!”s which do eventually come.

@_Davidsmith had this so many times. Part of my strategy for fighting this is talking to my customers when I can, and making sure I understand what they’re looking for. So many times, I’ve jumped to my own conclusions about a feature request and missed the mark - looking to do better at that in 2025!
