Survey: solo entrepreneurs/devs
Hey there,
I'm trying to gather some insights for a blog post, and I'll really appreciate feedback from solo entrepreneurs/devs.
Here's the scenario:
You have a product (digital or physical).
"It's awesome, but..", your customers say.
It has a problem/bug that affects some customers.
The fix requires major rework.
Here are the questions for you:
Question 1) Will you spend weeks/months on a rework, or continue marketing considering that with enough revenue you can hire someone for the rework?
Question 2) What's the industry of your product?
Question 3) Is your annual revenue higher, lower or nearly equal to the average annual salary your skillset will receive in the job market as of the end of last year (different story now with the pandemic)?
Feel free to add any thoughts or comments.
Thank you, and stay safe!
No offense, but you're asking entirely the wrong question.
If a bug only affects some customers and requires major work to fix, it must be a rarely used feature of your application.
Now the question is, if this feature is rarely used, why not simply deprecate it?
Yes you probably lose some affected customers, if this one feature was critical for them, but you gain the ability to spend your resources on the features that are not only used rarely.
