I wonder what's causing the downward trend with white-tail deer specifically since 2000. New approaches to wildlife management? Renewed interest in hunting?

Exactly, thank you.

Also, let’s be clear: we’re talking about the US. I’m sure it’s different in other countries.

I’m sorry but this is sorely misguided.

How many of the farms surveyed are the owner and operator’s full time job? How many of those farms are owned and operated by multiple families at the same time?

Farming in the US is nothing like a corporate job, or even most small businesses, for reasons I just don’t have the time to share. Your comparison to income for the general population…doesn’t work.

Farms with 2k acres or less are indeed small, family run operations. Especially if you only farm cash crops. These are the kinds of farms that rely on right-to-repair the most. Not the homesteader family with 16 acres and some goats.

Sorry all, your idea of what most full-time, successful, multi-generational farming operations in the US looks like is simply not accurate.

This is so, so important for helping family farms stay alive.

The amount my family has saved by being able to fix and even modify stuff on their own is huge. My dad still mows our lawn with an antique Allis-Chalmers hooked up to a commercial mower. Equipment is wildly expensive compared to margins at smaller scales (think like 2k acres for small farms). Things need to last for decades or generations in order to keep a profit.

This article summarizes a feeling I’ve had such a hard time articulating.

At many of my previous jobs, I was so frustrated by the people obsessed with tooling instead of doing the work. Like, why are you trying to develop a react application in VIM after you spent months evangelizing VScode to me?? Who cares, ship the thing!

Of course, these were the most visible people to upper management, and the darlings of our department. :/ Meanwhile I was the one staying on task, making sure things got out on time. Lesson learned: be loud. Advertise your accomplishments and advocate for yourself if you’re a do-er.

Looks like their redirect service for links was down, not twitter itself. I could go to my profile, but clicking links in my tweets gave me an API error. Ugh, not good.

Well, it wasn't easy. I tried many things: searching twitter, cold out reach through linkedin, upwork, broadcasting my availability to my personal network. Usually at least one of these would work. If I was more serious about building a consultancy, I would build a pipline for leads. However, my SaaS products have been my main focus, so I continue to rely on the tactics I just mentioned.

Author here - Thanks, glad to hear that part resonated with you. I agree, you can't let your passion burn too bright, or it will consume you. "a small flame inside you" is a great approach.

Author here - Sorry for the confusion. The term originated from the Indie Hacker forum launched around 2016, a forum that was dedicated to helping people start small businesses online. This is the website I linked to at the beginning of the article to give people context. I've seen this term used often in the context of startups on reddit as well as hacker news, so I thought it was common knowledge. It doesn't have anything to do with "hacking" computers, though I can see why people might think that.

Author here - That's awesome. I admire your grit. Realizing you needed to change and focus more on marketing is a big step in the right direction. We all start out doing the wrong things and making mistakes. The key is learning from them, which it seems, you are willing to do. Best of luck!

Author here - There may have been a misunderstanding. Fantasy Congress was my passion project. PageFactory is my attempt at a B2B SaaS.

Also, my product does not provide any AI services.
