Chai Choudhary, solo founder of Workers IO, is building the proof layer that shows whether any of it works. A conversation about why \"nobody's buying code\" anymore, the first company he sold too early, killing ideas fast, and why founders should start solo.\nTopics covered:\n- AI-written code and the growing gap between engineers and their own codebases\n- Why proof that software works is becoming the product\n- Starting late: code on paper, one lab hour a week, no internet until college\n- Timing, and the cost of selling too early\n- Runway as a decision tool\n- Killing two ideas fast, and never marrying a solution\n- Content-led distribution for a deeply technical product\n- Solo vs. co-founders: equity for exceptional hires, and the honest bear case\nGuest: Chai Choudhary, founder and CEO of Workers (https://workers.io).\nApply to the Solo Founders cohort: https://solofounders.com/program/r/the_podcast\nNewsletter: https://solofounders.beehiiv.com/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Mj10Aagf8Fn8vlPjgqrVjy6o35AHmBKx1tPfNCCPiYo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80OWE2/Y2E3NGM5MjYxYmQ1/Njk2YjU5YTlkMmMw/OTZmYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
