Pat Walls(@thepatwalls):Hiring people, taking on a cofounder, or even taking a little funding can be a good source of motivation for certain types of people. Being a solo founder is not for everyone!! Bc it requires a lot of intrinsic motivation, nobody is counting on you! That was never a problem for me, BUT I know a lot of solo founders who lack that motivation and IMO could use a bit of a kick in the arse.

I believe the aversion to hiring and having a team holds successful indie hackers back. You can take on much more ambitious dreams with others, and it's fun to grow a team too. And as a friendly competitor, I'm enjoying seeing Nevo and Postiz become a strong player in the space.
