I've been a serial "solo founder" since I was 12 years old or so (now 33), and I don't really identify with this. Working solo means there's nothing on the line should one of my ideas not pan out; all I'll have lost is some of my own time.

Seconded. Working solo means I can move at whatever pace I'm comfortable with, and even halt development entirely for a while if something more interesting crops up.

Supporting customers is not particularly stressful either, so long as you don't make the mistake of trying to answer every email immediately and treat every issue from a $10 account as a hair-on-fire, drop everything emergency.

Build it to run in the background, and it will.

I honestly feel this is how startup should be bootstrapped.
