sadly, bali builder culture seems to be gone
i came back after 8 years, hoping to meet tons of founders working their asses off
still remember the
@levelsio interview with lex where he was talking about building well into the nights together with
@marckohlbrugge and other founders
instead, i spent many nights in the coworking kinda by myself (there are maybe 2-3 other people but they all seem to be just working European / US times as employees)
feels like a lot of it is kinda performative as well, with many pretending to live a hustle lifestyle that they simply don’t embody - little surprising therefore that a lot of dubai are now based here lol
anyways, i still met with amazing builders like
@sobedominik or
@floriandarroman but they’re the exception, not the norm, unfortunately
