You Don’t Need a Team to Build Something Useful
Been building alone for over a year now. No cofounder, no team, no funding. Just me and my laptop and some late nights.
People always say you need a team to ship good things. Not true. What you need is time and focus. And the guts to push something live even when it’s not perfect.
Last week I launched a small contract that lets you set up recurring payments between wallets. No frontend, just the contract and a short readme. It’s not fancy but it works. Someone even used it for a subscription test.
I didn’t tell anyone before launching it. Just coded it up in three days and put it on mainnet. I know the code isn’t perfect, but it solves a problem I had myself and that’s enough to share it.
There’s a weird pressure in crypto to act like a startup. Decks, roadmaps, tokens, community managers. Sometimes all you need is a script and a publish button.
I’ll keep building things that fix my own problems. If they help others too, that’s a bonus. But even if not, at least I learn something every time.
That’s what keeps me going.
