On: My eighth year as a bootstrapped founder

I don't think I understood the distinction between being a "pure indie solo hacker" and "indie entrepreneur"/"indie salesman".

Are you saying that one cannot make a living just hacking around?

You probably can survive, but not come even close to the salary you'd get being hired by some well established company.

The distinction is what you put first - business (and make hacking constraint by it) or hacking.
