My question is why does everyone with the next CRUD SaaS app think they need to hire the “best people”?
I’ve seen plenty of job openings where companies want “ninja rockstar 10x developers” to write what ends up being something that anyone who knows the latest MVC framework with three years of experience can do competently.
And most “entrepreneurs” who own franchising are barely middle class and “bought a job”. The average fast food franchise, convenient store averages about $70K a year and that’s with the owner working insane hours and putting their family to work as free labor.
A 10x programmer can get things off the ground very fast.
Back at my peak. Me and another guy got a new startup to 1,000 paying clients in b2b space in 2 years. We had a few “regular” guys that helped out, but they would have taken 20 years to do what we did.
I consider myself a “regular guy” (and 80% of drivers think they are above average). But I believe I can go through my LinkedIn profile and find a bunch of “regular guys” that I’ve worked with through the years that if you combine us with a “product guy”, an empty AWS account and a budget. We could put together a standard SaaS app.
