  1. Our readingA solo maker has to charge at least $30 a month per user; Netflix-style $10 pricing only works for a giant company.

    Their wordsYou need to make at least $30 or more on a user to make it worth it for you. You need to make money.

  3. Our readingDeploying straight to production with no staging server is the right trade for a solo developer, because the speed is worth the risk.

How recent

The line under a date fills as the words age, a quarter at a time: past a month, six months, a year, and three years. Empty means said within the last month; full, more than three years ago. It says when, not whether it still holds — a change of mind is marked on the claim itself.

Dashed means we only know the words existed by that date; they may be older.
