Why HN links it
HN readers point to this site as a resource for practical knowledge on starting a new IT business, suggested in a thread asking for books on launching a solo SaaS company.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
This guy seems to know a great deal about starting a new IT business: https://www.joisig.com/ Might be worth it checking that out. EDIT: As a software developer, I also second Basecamp books and their organizational culture (that is explicitly and publicly divulged on their materials - some of them are free).

HN discussionI wrote a CMS / personal website hosting system that lets me publish straight from the Bear App note taking app that I use every single day. Write or edit any post as a note in Bear, give it a tag so it gets published as a blog post or a new page, run one command and my site is updated. The software is available as AGPL licensed open source. I blogged about it, if you'd like more details: https://joisig.com/bearly-a…
