319: My SaaS Server Exploded (& How I Salvaged It)
May 10, 2024
•19m

One thing became apparent: while it may look like a waste of time to build something and revert back to "yesterday's version", I got massively interesting insights into my product and my process along the way.
So today, we'll talk about setbacks, getting back up again, and how we can judo a failure into making progress.
