@badlogicgames @mitsuhiko man the amount of grifters and "startup contest founders" i have met at austrian events is actually award winning 😅 quite an achievement in itself
English
@mitsuhiko my experience at a massive amount of austrian startup events and a handulf of "accelerators" formed my believe, that participation in that space is an extremely strong negative signal.
nabelschau galore. nothing of value was ever said or done.
English
@sobedominik cool, thanks for the insight. we loved northern vietnam to work for a month, but stayed super remote. because of that good experience always wanted to try da nang or hoi an. but will skip it now thanks 👌🏻
English
Left Da Nang and will probably not come back.
Spent a total of 5 weeks here.
I went to bed slightly angry almost every night because of bad service/hospitality, noise, dangerous driving or a mix of those.
It affected my gf even more so we decided to not stay longer than 1 month.
I think that’s a good proxy for liking a place. Our nervous system just never really felt at ease.
In terms of Vietnam in general, I feel like I had a much better time in HCMC when I stayed there for two weeks a few years ago.
Everything seemed to be more efficient there and people were much friendlier.
All my Vietnamese friends are super cool, funny and really friendly.
So I was quite disappointed when I noticed most locals in Da Nang being so cold and borderline unfriendly.
This is the first city in South East Asia this happened to me and if anyone knows why I’d love to learn more about it.
Maybe it was just us? Maybe locals just don’t like tourists/foreigners?
No idea but it felt “off”. Almost not welcomed.
The Indiehacker community is really cool and friendly though.
Some cafes are definitely nice to work from Da Nang and the actual coffee is great. Just strong… very strong hehe
The thing with those coffee shops is just that I’m slowly approaching 30 and can’t sit on ultra uncomfortable chairs for an entire day anymore (👴)
When I first arrived I was super stoked because there are not a lot of nomad spots with breezy sunny weather in Jan/Feb and Da Nang definitely has that.
The cons unfortunately outweigh the pros so I’ll likely not come back for the foreseeable future.
All that being said, if you have a short runway and want to save money it might still be one of the better places to go so I’d say it’s worth giving it a try!

Arrived in Da Nang! 🇻🇳 I think we arrived with too high expectations 😬 It honestly feels like Bali but ordered on Wish but in a good way… let me explain. So after three days here my pros and cons: Pros: - ☀️ Amazing weather early in the year (not too cold not too hot, way better than Bali/BKK/CNX. Think T-Shirt during the day but light wind jacket at night.) - 💸 Affordable (you def. feel it’s much cheaper than most „Nomad“ places but it does come with a cost I‘ll share below) - 👨🏽💻 Community (there’s a lot of cool Indiehackers here and you’ll def never feel alone) - ☕️ Coffee shops (this came to a surprise! I’d dare to say the the work-from-a-cafe culture here is the best I have seen from all the places I have been too. Big, spacious, natural light, great coffee, decent WiFi and power plags everywhere) Now to the cons: - 🏠 Accommodation (this is a personal one but I just can’t seem to find a nice looking apartment or house here for short term rental. Da Nang seems amazing if you are conscious about your run rate and want basic amenities (think 200-500$ for a basic one bedroom condo) But if you are used to accommodation from Bali or Bangkok it just doesn’t deliver. A good amount of places seem to be riddled with either mold or noise issues. We’ve been on countless visits today with various agents, checked all the booking sites and… nada. There seems to be some nicer high end stuff but it’s all not possible to rent on a monthly basis and seems to avg. $2-4000/m which suddenly doesn’t seem appealing at all anymore given the other options in SEA and beyond. This is actually also the most frustrating and likely what won’t keep us here for long. Still scouting but my initial optimism to find something decent is fading fast. - Driving style 🛵 (I’m sorry to say this but after having driven a lot of vehicles around South East Asia, Vietnam seems to have the worst drivers of all countries I have ever been to with India coming close second) Initially I thought „oh nice people drive quite slowly here most of time like 40km/h max and there’s no traffic“ so it was refreshing to the traffic craze of Bali but fuak me do people here drive dangerously! People not only drive on the wrong side of the street (typical SEA behaviour I can handle) but they corner you with acceleration on the wrong side of the street 😅🤯 It’s absolutely nuts. We almost had a horrific accident today. My girlfriend cried because it was so sketchy.) So ye… to summarize Da Nang seems to be THE place if you are starting out your Indiehacker journey and/or want to save money. If you care a lot about the quality of your accom or plan to ride a bike while having little to no experience I’m not sure it’s the best place to go. I think Da Nang didn’t start out or ever want to be a nomad hub but it’s slowly turning into it so maybe it’s also not fair to compare it with a place like Bali. I’m writing this because I really want Da Nang to work for us (given the pros I mentioned) but it seems like a rough start. I’ll update y’all in a few weeks with how it’s going 😉 Curious, what’s your experience about Da Nang?

three out of five spots have been sold so far on runclaw.sh
that’s motivating us to keep pushing and make this work better than ever
let’s make this sound hard. let’s build a solid product here.
checkout runclaw on trustmrr

@benjaminakar congrats. been on my startup list for such a long time, never picked it up. (now i regret not doing it haha)
i always also envisioned a map to better compare. like let me click different countries and "explore"
English
we've already said no to several companies wanting to advertise.
the audience is founders, operators, and engineers comparing countries for taxes + payroll + setup - and it’s been shared in that same indie/founder ecosystem (incl. levelsio).
high intent:
- net pay comparisons
- sanity-checking relocation
- EOR vs contractor vs employment

@DanielLockyer @levelsio easy, just drink directly from a real coconut 🤔
English
@levelsio you're about to discover most "coconut water" is fake shit
English
The main natural answer seems to be coconut water! I'll try during workout, thank you!
@levelsio@levelsio
What would you recommend if I'd want to do this more natural? Orange juice during workout?
English
@mitsuhiko isn't that only on copilot branches? at least for us we had to request the PR reviews or be on an copilot branch
English
I really hate that when we opted into GitHub enterprise all the sudden I'm opted automatically into some damn CodeQL Copilot trail that spams my PRs with low value contributions and there is absolutely no obvious way to turn it off -.-

@denisyurchak man, you almost had me. thought this isn't true and i need to give it a shot hahaha

About surfer localism in the Canaries
Before coming here, I was worried that the locals would be pissed about foreigners (me) in the water
Reddit is full of stories about locals throwing stones at foreign surfers in "their" water
I came here to surf and turns out... It's true
But only partly
There are spots for "locals" only
If you come here, they will make your life miserable
But the good news is, those are usually more distant from big cities and digital nomad hubs, where you will likely stay
The main beach in Las Palmas, for example, is full of foreigners and beginner surfers, and the locals are chill about it
Now, bad news: you will not be immune to localism if you speak Spanish and live there semi-permanently
My surfing instructor is Portuguese, speaks perfect Spanish, lives here, but the locals still don't let him surf on "their" spots
That's it, folks
English
I noticed that most successful builders around here have partners who love and support them
Building a solo product is one of the most difficult things out there, on the par with getting a PhD in quantum physics
There is so many moving parts and a lot of times it gets real heavy emotionally
It took me 3 years to create my first successful product and my wife has been there to:
- critique the stuff I build (I have no team to call me out if I do dumb things)
- look at my landings and designs when my eyes blur
- support when I freak out about an angry customer
- keep me focused when I want to build features instead of marketing
- push me when I get lazy
I am sure as hell I wouldn’t be able to make it alone

After taking a well-deserved break, I'm on the market for a job again!
What I'm looking for:
- Crypto tech leadership roles: head of engineering, tech lead, or engineering manager on load-bearing projects. I have a good track record on protocol design (@Optimism) & leading a team to ship something hard in a short time at @HappyChainDevs.
- Investment at a crypto VC. This is a lot of stuff I already do for fun, but would love to get next level on.
- Co-founding: if you have the next great thing, but you need someone to build it.
- Open to other offers, outside crypto, product management, IC roles... for extraordinary companies & offers.
