>> 10 hours a day is dedicated to my job. I'm awake for 16 hours and 10 of those I spend at work.

That's the tragedy of wage labor, even highly paid salaried positions. We spend so much of our adult lives in a place that's ultimately transactional and labor to produce profit for someone else. It's bonkers.

And yet it's the best deal most of us are ever going to get without concerted action within and across industries.

How is that helpful? If we were all lucky geniuses capable to afford the risk, into the required grinding (none of the IH projects were overnight successes), and succeed at bootstrapping a 500k SaaS, most of us would have already done it.

Parent is absolutely correct that for most of us, the best we can hope is wage labor to make someone else richer. Posting a link to indie hackers without context doesn’t change that, and isn’t helpful at all.
