This post resonated with me a lot.
It's similar to the distinction between VC compatible business ideas (main dishes) and more niche, Micro SaaS products that are focused on profitability instead of growth.
My main dish is Saasify.sh, a platform whose goal is to help other developers launch and experiment with side dishes. In the context of this excellent article, I'm focused on trying to make the process of creating your own side dishes as easy and repeatable as possible.
