I feel like there's something in the water of being an indie hacker where you feel like you need to be really friendly.

Like everyone's a community.

Everyone helps out.

So people don't think about like having rivalries.

When that really is, I mean, if youany's danie and peter's situation like

they aren't enemies like they're you know there's no bad blood and they're rival and be friendly

yeah you can be a rival and be friendly and then on top of all that there's also like corlin you

probably have seen like i mean i think i've counted no fewer than 10 individual posts on indie hackers complaining about copycats. Like people just have this idea that you're like, you can't copy. You can't, like, if someone else is doing something, like, that's their lane. You've got to stay in your lane. And like, there's no, there's no bigger bullshit in the world of business than the idea that, like, you can't have the same features. It'd be like playing basketball and somebody steals the ball from you. and then you can play in the world of business, then the idea that, like, you can't have the same features. It'd be, like, playing basketball

and somebody steals the ball from you,

and then you can play,

and, like, that's not,

that shouldn't be allowed.

It's like,

actually,

that's, like, part of the rules of the game. Like, one of the rules of business is that if somebody innovates, It's like you can do a similar innovation.

Someone does a slam dunk and you're like, well, I can't do a slam dunk.

Like that's Michael's move, you know?

I got to do the crossover.

Like I can't do that same thing.

Yeah.

Speaking of Dan, Someone does a slam dunk and you're like, well, I can't do a slam dunk. Like, that's Michael's move, you know?

I got to do the crossover.
