Thank HN: My SaaS paid my rent this month 646 by frits1993 | 158 comments on Hacker News. Running a profitable SAAS has been my dream from the moment I wrote my first line of code. Here on HN and IndieHackers I've always looked up to the people who pay their bills with recurring revenue from their tools. I've tried, many times, to do the same, without much success. A couple of rather successful HN pitches, but none of my projects ever even paid me a beer (let alone my rent). Until this month! Last year I built myself and my girlfriend a tool. Even though I did build it for other people to use it, I had never thought someone actually would. Long story short, half a year later I provide my service to more than 5000 (fully organic) users. This month is the first month in which revenue is high enough to pay my rent with it. Disclaimer: I share my rent with my girlfriend, but it does sound cool to say. Looking back at the proces, it does match with a lot of other success stories ...

Thank HN: You helped me get a new job 1042 by atum47 | 91 comments on Hacker News. I remember like it was yesterday: I applied to a job overseas through a job platform and didn't get hired. People from the platform contacted me telling me one of the possible reasons was that I didn't have any code on GitHub. After that I started uploading all my code as open source projects and began to search places to tell people about it. Soon I learned about Hackernews and made a post that got 1 vote. I then decided to contact HN to ask how can I get more traction to my projects and they told me about the Show HN, a tag design to share small and even unfinished projects. Soon I was posting every idea I ever had made into a project. After InvaderZ - a space invaders clone that uses genetic algorithm ( https://ift.tt/2QFfb3s ) - people started liking my projects and I started to gain some attention. That was very important cause I was being approached by some companies. I don't do proj...

Show HN: I wrote a book for engineers that want to become engineering managers 587 by jstanier | 215 comments on Hacker News. Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://ift.tt/30guMtb which got a decent amount of traction - I had a few front-pages here too, which was awesome. I improved a lot as a writer. This gave me the confidence to pitch a book to numerous publishers and thankfully my ideal choice wanted to work with me. The book has now been released in beta, which means you get DRM-free access to ...
