I agree with your initial idea, but you lost me at "hourly rate". I think doing fixed prices for fixed scopes allows any agency to scale up to a certain point. (Instead of disincentivizing efficiency through hourly rates)

The wording of a video title is determined by the rules of copywriting. You try to maximize clicks and gain virality. There is no correlation to the quality of the content.

In terms of website, I am not sure what you are referring to: acquisition.com is the actual website, that is dedicated to buying businesses. There is no paid course, all content is free. Technically the e-book costs 99 cents.

For some guidance on successful bootstrapping, I would suggest to look into Alex Hormozi (Youtube, Podcast).

So if I understood you correctly then further lowering the cost of experimentally determining protein targets could be a viable way forward that is completely orthogonal to computational methods?

Can you provide a list of the top problems in that space? Much rather try to understand them deeply myself and build a company solving them than just getting a job.

That is not specific to AI and we commonly do not think of it as problem. We call it visionary leadership.

In refusing to accept that any contribution you make to society is in fact a business, you will be doomed to build a bad business. You will talk about the emotional turmoil a feature request puts you through instead of being proud of your streamlined business processes and your ever increasing MRR.

This was a very interesting connection between headline and content. Based on the headline I assumed an article about entrepreneurship and tech. Even the first paragraph seemed to support my hypothesis. Snobby academics not getting what technical progress combined with market demand looks like.

Ultimately that was not the topic of the article. Yet, reading between the lines it still confirmed the my underlying bias that lead me to interpret the headline in the way I did.

As founder and main developer of a product, I feel that both the first suggestion of an aqui-hire and the second suggestion of getting a regular job at MSFT are completely ludicrous. Far too weak.

Framing this as becoming an employee at MSFT directly establishes a position of inferiority. This should have been about a licensing deal with the option to purchase some premium support on top to facilitate the integration. A B2B deal will never involve HR.

You don't have to be a tough negotiator yourself, but then please seek advice from a manager representing you.

Taking a high-velocity ride in a cage of aluminum? I don't want to engage with that at all. I am so surprised that safety measures such as airbags and seat belts are discussed. Obviously cars are too dangerous to exist.
