Programmers who built startups - did you actually make money? What's your story?
I'm curious - how many of you have built something on the side or gone full-time on a startup? Did it ever turn into real income, or did it mostly flop?
Not talking about VC-funded unicorns. I mean side projects, small SaaS tools, apps - anything you coded yourself and tried to monetize.
A few things I'd love to know:
- What did you build?
- How long before you saw any revenue?
- What actually worked to get your first paying customers?
- What would you do differently?
Both success stories and "I wasted 2 years on this" tales are welcome. Honestly the failures are probably more useful 😄
