When it comes to bootstrapping and building software, there's rarely one right answer. The Panel is a new podcast with a purpose: explore the nuance. We want to move past the easy answers, "drive-by advice," and Twitter gurus. https://panelpodcast.com/

Surprised how many “very public” people are actually quite introverted! Great discussion with @mariepoulin.com, @aaronfrancis.com, @briancasel.com, @justinjackson.ca youtu.be/MSVsfOCJhJs?...

“In a community, you need this feeling of closeness.” – @jay.blog 🤔 this feels like the problem with social media: so many of the participants feel disconnected from each other. Listen to the full episode on @thepanel.bsky.social: panelpodcast.com/3

I'd never heard this story from @peldi.bsky.social about how he got Balsamiq featured in the @nytimes.com. This belongs in the #buildinpublic Hall of Fame! 💻🌱

This is a great conversation about building and fostering a community, building in public, and thinking about who takes over your business if you move on.

New episode of The Panel: Should you still build in public? Peldi (Balsamiq) and Jay Clouse (Creator Science) What do you think? Reply here with your thoughts!

This upcoming episode of @thepanel.bsky.social was so fun. @peldi.bsky.social, founder of Balsamiq, came with questions about #buildinpublic and building community. We got @jay.blog on the call to teach us everything he's learned building Creator Science. 🔥 panelpodcast.com/subscribe

I do a rough pass inside @riversidefm.bsky.social on @justinjackson.ca & @briancasel.com's new show, @thepanel.bsky.social before exporting it to Final Cut Pro / Logic Pro for audio and video finessing. But if you're willing to put in the time, Riverside is crazy powerful these days.

"We are in the era of the starter kit and the component library" -- @calebporzio.bsky.social on @thepanel.bsky.social Working on this in the Rails space, I hope it's true. Josh Pigford might well ride Cursor's preferences to complete apps, but people "hire" starter kits to learn/hedge career bets

Why is it so hard to get a programming job right now? Spoke with @taylorotwell.bsky.social, @calebporzio.bsky.social, and @briancasel.com about it youtu.be/rhqfo_8hmos

😆

What did you think of the latest episode of @thepanel.bsky.social with @taylorotwell.bsky.social and @calebporzio.bsky.social? You can leave a comment here: panelpodcast.com/2/#bluesky-c...

🎙️ Just published a new episode of The Panel: The business of open source - Caleb Porzio (Livewire) and Taylor Otwell (Laravel). Have a listen:

"Should my kids be considering a job in web development?" @calebporzio.bsky.social thinks: "I don't recommend it. The people I've told to get into webdev haven't been able to get jobs." @taylorotwell.bsky.social wonders if it's because the bar is higher (only senior devs getting hired) #laravel

"Is Laravel the only tech company that's hiring these days?" Taylor feels like he's catching up on hiring after running lean for so long. This chat with @taylorotwell.bsky.social, @calebporzio.bsky.social & @briancasel.com was so good. Coming this Friday on @thepanel.bsky.social: panelpodcast.com

With the proliferation of AI, what's happened to the indie hacker landscape? "Lots more crappy little apps." @leenyburger.bsky.social and @tylerking.app share their thoughts:

Is the SaaS gold rush over? Is AI making things easier or harder? 💻🌱

Love this clip from @tylerking.app He says he’s not an influencer, but lots of folks have reached out and said they liked what he had to say!

From @tylerking.app: "You're all more 'influencery' than me. I've given up on that. A mistake I've made repeatedly is, 'Let's start a CRM newsletter!' The people I sell to are insurance agents and small manufacturing companies. They don't care about what I have to say about CRMs." 💻🌱

The first episode of The Panel (featuring @leenyburger.bsky.social and @tylerking.app) is out! Listen here, and let us know what you think! panelpodcast.com/1 Cheers, @briancasel.com @justinjackson.ca

Is it going to be easier, or harder, to bootstrap a SaaS in 2025?

We're having @taylorotwell.bsky.social and @calebporzio.bsky.social on @thepanel.bsky.social podcat tomorrow. 👍 Any particular topics you'd like to see us cover?

We just finished recording episode 1 of The Panel! @leenyburger.bsky.social and @tylerking.app brought the 🔥 @ichris.bsky.social is editing it now. We can't wait to share it with y'all. Cheers, @justinjackson.ca @briancasel.com
