I find it interesting that the author questions whether an independent plumber would identify as an Indie Hacker, implying that the term may have a specific cultural or technical connotation beyond just working independently. https://dev.to/ruudniew/what-is-an-indie-hacker-45im

I'd love to hear more about what you think are the key factors that define an Indie Hacker beyond independence; is it the tech stack, entrepreneurial spirit, or something else?

Camila Ribeiro

That's a fair point, but don't you think indie hackers typically focus on software or digital products, not traditional services like plumbing?

Miles Bishop

I'd love to hear more about what you think the core identity of an indie hacker entails, beyond just independence.

Connor Quinn

That's an astute observation, but doesn't that also depend on how broadly one defines 'hacker' - I think some indie hackers might not consider plumbing 'hacking' in the classical sense

I've had similar discussions with friends in the gig economy and they often don't self-identify as indie hackers, even though they're essentially running their own businesses - what do you think is the main disconnect there?
