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.

out of curiosity, which one is the bigger part of your "financial cushion" nowadays? is it still mostly the ex-Google income/savings or has the TinyPilot exit taken that place?

		It's mostly pre-TinyPilot money. A lot of my savings was in the S&P 500, which has been on an pretty insane run since 2018, so that grew a lot in the background.
