The behind-the-scenes journey of an indie hacker
Hey, I’m Derrick Reimer, a full-stack developer. I fell in love with the 37signals ethos back in 2009 and I’ve been bootstrapping ever since. I’ve started and sold two companies, but the truth is it’s still freaking hard!
My mission on the internet is to share what I’m learning to help other indie hackers achieve success doing what they love.
