I like these kind of stories. Insight into these situation is inspiring. When I hang up the gloves in my current role I'll probably do something similar.

But, come on ... isn't it just a touch disingenuous to call this a bootstrap situation?

I assume an ex-Google developer jettisoned with a decent safety net. Perhaps I'm wrong. But I have a very different idea of what bootstrapping is.

Anyway, kudos to you ... making your own move is brave and commendable.

Thanks for reading!

Yeah, I agree and wish I had a better term. I've heard people talking about "bootstrapping" a business with $200k+, and I roll my eyes.

I used to call these updates "My Xth Year as a Solo Developer" but that stopped making sense when I was working with a team.
