This is awesome. Shouldn't this be every engineer's dream? Why do someone else's bidding in a boring corporate megastructure, or in a startup bullied by sharky venture capitalists into making a compromised product, and making less money while at it? I hope in the future we see an explosion of VC-less bootstrapped tech companies and microSaaS. The desire is there, for sure, but the courage is lacking. More examples like this will inspire courage. Thanks!
I think so! I do think more people should try to build their own thing and monetize it.
But then I also have to add there is probability involved in here. I'm rational enough to understand it's a probability equation of who actually makes it to the other side and can sustainably pay their bills with something they made for a long period of time. Most fail, some do okay and a few do really well.
