Pieter Levels: Making $2.7M A Year With No Employees

I think it doesn't matter what you use, but as long as you use something that's really fast, feedback loop, an iterative loop where you can really quickly develop. Like, I can make a new button in, like, 20 seconds and deploy it to the server ... I know other developer friends of mine use a very big stack ... For them, it takes sometimes, like, you know, an hour or maybe even days to deploy a new feature.

There's lots happening in Asia. And I think in the West, in Europe and America, we have a blind spot, because we get so much information that's negative about Asia, especially about China ... China is going to be the biggest economy in 2030.

If you make one feature really well that solves one problem, you can get some customers, and you get some cash flow, and then you can build a second feature. And you can slowly scale up... to a real business, to a real product toolkit.

I'm heavy in ETFs ... I'm heavily invested in Asia, because I believe in Asia ... I also invest in crypto—I hold Bitcoin and Ethereum.

With the nomad thing ... If you move around... your life becomes very unique, because you meet different kinds of people. You're in different kinds of places. You see different kinds of products ... Like, if you're in Asia, you see some futuristic shit you don't see in Europe and America.

And also, Nomad List is like my baby. So, if I sell it, they're gonna fuck it up. I already know, because they always do.

You don't want to live in a hotel room. A hotel room is very depressing. I go insane in hotel rooms ... You can barely walk around the bed; there's no space. I need to cook food. I need buy steak from the local butcher. I need to cook it with broccoli and spinach and with my friends and stuff. And you can do it in an apartment hotel.

As long as I ship a little bit on my websites, I don't really get bored.
