Re:Ask HN: Anyone got advice for someone like me nearing 40s? on Thursday June 26, 2025 @08:29AM (#44386770)
(similar age as you're)

Sorry to hear about everything you've been so far. Things have been rough for me as well lately. The only thing that keeps me from falling into nihilism and despair is God.

I hope you find peace.

I've been working on and off on it for a few years now but have never given it my 100%. I want to focus on something else going forward.

Ask HN: Thinking about selling my SaaS business

Posted by sellingwebsite on Thursday August 08, 2024 @05:01PM
from the ask-hn dept.

a throwaway account for privacy reasons.I'm thinking about selling my SaaS business, which I have been running for almost three years now. Modest year-over-year growth (50-60%), low churn, healthy profit margin (90%), loyal customer base, strong SEO.tech stack is simple - vanilla Rails app, Sidekiq + Redis, SQLite, hosted on Hetzner's bare metal server.The business doesn't require much...

Do you seriously believe in that? You have to be trolling.

"be free" is how we ended up with a dragnet surveillance that is plaguing the web. Who is going to pay for the storage and the bandwidth?

If you want it to "be free", you are free to host it on your own hardware.

Of course you won't see one: they're all dead or dying a slow death. Free is unsustainable.

Re:Ask HN: Anyone else in constant anxiety and how do you cope? on Sunday November 24, 2019 @09:51AM (#21620725)
Lots of good suggestions here, but they miss the elephant in the room: you are trapped and you feel that. It seems like a lot of your anxiety stems from that.

My only suggestion would be to "climb out" of this trap. Since you can't find another job in your town (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21620176), try looking fo remote job openings. Freelancing and starting your own business are options as well, but I won't recommend them for you, at least for now.

Sales. If you only have 1 hour to learn anything, learn sales. That's a skill that can come handy in many areas of life, not only in business.

"The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink."
