This seems like good advice to maximize personal satisfaction on a side project. Many of the tidbits are the exact opposite of advice for startups that are trying to maximize value.

Which tidbits did you feel that way about?

It seemed to me that most of the advice is pretty in-line with that given to value-maximizing startups.

Isn't that more telling about the nature of "value" than the advice though?

Amen to this... "You will get many ups and downs on your way — A new feature might have a significant bug you haven’t noticed and it would cause some customers to quit. I recently experienced that but I would think it was a necessary process to make the app more reliable. You are not perfect. So is your product. Finish your work and see how it goes. Don’t be afraid."
