I always thought this was "common sense". I just don't understand why people focus so much in "I need to bootstrap a saas!", "I need to listen to what other entrepreneurs are saying", "I need to put my product on indie hackers!", "I need to join an accelerator!", "I need investors!".

Sorry, but imho all of that doesn't make any sense. Build something because a) you think it may be useful (for you or for others) and b) you actually enjoy building things.

It’s often either being in love with the idea of being an entrepreneur, or they genuinely are trying to build a successful product but conflating the Promotional ‘P’ of marketing (posting on Reddit, ProductHunt etc) with the other three - product, price, place.

Which is unfortunate, as those kind of people are usually the first people to dunk on marketing with Bill Hicks videos, calling it a form of deception etc.
