I was inspired by Patrick Mckenzie’s Solo Founder rap
to create my own :
Of course I don’t really think this a great song or that I can rap, just a bit of fun.
Yo, I wanna tell you story about a man who loved the power of technology so much,
that he decided to become…
a solo founder.
Cubicle land, you know we’ve all be there,
filling reports and fixing bugs is doesn’t feel fair,
knowing your efforts don’t have the impact,
spending time on tasks yo you better track that.
and get it approved.
the boss might be a fool but he’s still directing you.
Ideas keep coming, the next big thing,
Sergey check your money cause I stepped in the ring
make a big bet i’m a bigger threat like Bing
It’s risky, you’ll fail, you haven’t a chance.
Some don’t know the power of man with a plan.
post on hacker news, watch mixergy interviews,
google analytics for reviewing your page views.
Starts off slow, no sales or downloads,
products real tight so you aint closing down though
What you gunna do ? give up and cry,
or iterate improve and ask people why ?
get some advice and then some more then
post a shoutout on the spolsky business forum.
Fast forward two years, the business has grown,
peeps lovin the app and you aint all alone.
employee number #1 is coding on a laptop
you release a viral mashup, your very own slapchop
With every email comes another sale,
Working for man, you knew it was fail,
the effort was worth it,
you gave it a try,
then you give a big yawn and rub both your eyes.
looking around you suddely wake
and see the fabric wall that seals your fate
cause it was a dream, and you aint the man,
you’ve woken up back in cubicle land.
(god dammit, this is bullshit, gaah, where’s my TPS reports…
Oh there they are, hey whose stapler is that ? )
