Interestingly enough this is a concept looking for a term - patio11 regularly comments that as software engineers / solo preneurs we have advantages - being able to knock up a totally bespoke cms that we can deliver a custom pipeline
- and to me that is the term growth hacker just with more words
+1 growth hacker is here to stay
I never understood why people are so adamant to deny the meaningfulness of a new term. They people who think "growth hacker" is just another buzzword are generally pretty uninformed about what growth hacking even purports to be.
New terms are created all the time and most of the time I'm charitable enough to assume there's a reason for them.
Clearest explanation I've heard so far. Well done :-)
