Going Far Alone: Starting project C-137

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

This isn't wrong. However, it seems different when it comes to side projects. It's more like, "You can't even start if you try to go together."

Side projects orbit alongside the massive gravity of our main jobs. Since everyone has different priorities, team building and team maintenance often become the biggest hurdles for a project. So this time, I'm just going to go alone. But strategically.

Convergence of Implementation Costs to '0'

To go far alone, you need ability. An ability I don't possess. Vibe Coding has the ability I lack.

In the past, 'party members' were essential to validate an idea. But now, technological barriers have fallen, and implementation costs have drastically decreased. The limit a single person can handle has expanded far beyond.

From a PM's Perspective: Small, Focused, and Cheap

Lower costs present an enormous opportunity. It means there's no longer a need to pursue economies of scale and build general-purpose tools.

1. Rediscovering the Niche: You can target 'pain points' that are too small for large corporations to bother with, but are desperate needs for someone.

2. Price Competitiveness: With '0' team operating costs, you can survive even by offering services at a lower price.

3. Infinite Iteration: You can run the build, break, and fix cycle at an insane speed.

I plan to serially experiment with products that seem capable of creating products with 'appropriate size' and 'moat'. Whether it's B2B, B2C, or even a quirky toy, if there's a 'valid hypothesis,' I'll build it.

C-137. The universe where the 'most independent' Rick's ego resides in .

Here, based on the wildness of just shipping it, I will record whether products succeed in the market or are miserably ignored. Whether it succeeds or fails, the record of all those efforts will become the content of this blog.
