> I think one mental trap for solo devs is to over identify as SWE and not as online entrepreneurs with SWE skills as a particularly helpful asset.

This is one of those scary truths that chased me out of entrepreneurship.

It's scary because it shines a light on the enormity of the task outside of building the product (and building the product usually isn't easy). Parts of it (sales especially) can be very fun, but a lot of it is painful.

I scratched the itch of "can I make something from nothing" and after that realized there was a reason I didn't major in business in the first place. I left with a newfound appreciation for what they do!
