f yeah side projects

It’s a massive differentiator to have launched something. To have had an idea, and put it into the world.

When I’m running interviews I’ll always ask “name something that you’ve done that was 100% you - something you had the idea for and then made, doesn’t matter how big or small”. You’d be surprised how many people pause at this question and struggle to think of an answer. Most people in fact will answer this question by talking about a project that they were a part of.

I’ll say it again - a shockingly small number of people have built their own thing on the internet.
