Summary

Here's a neutral and interesting summary of the text in one paragraph: An aspiring SaaS bootstrapper, John, reached out to a developer for advice on how to start his cloud security product. The developer responded with guidance on how to overcome common challenges, starting by targeting smaller companies instead of enterprises, and owning the company's domain expertise. The developer also shared their own experience of finding product market fit through iterative development, deploying quickly and listening to customer feedback. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of balancing marketing efforts with bootstrapping, highlighting the effectiveness of blogging, giving away free tools, and engaging with communities like Reddit and Twitter.
