Field notes.
Notes from building and running a solo product portfolio. What worked, what broke, what the next project skips.

06 The Solo Dev Build System: How One Person Ships Like a Team
The repeatable system behind a multi-project portfolio. The trick is never solving a solved problem twice, so the next project starts halfway down the field.
