I went all in with bootstrapping 1 year ago, got rejected by a PM role in Bangkok 1 month ago, and my savings were almost drained.

I pivoted into apps at the beginning of 2025. It was an existential crisis at low $100 MRR in the first half of 2025.

Then I really started learning about marketing 1 month ago and went fully locked in.

Today I 10x’d my app to $1600 MRR, 500k organic views, and $0 ad spend.

Keep going. Don’t give up.

@robj3d3 i grew up in hk, the narrative is a bit misleading

as a founder the burn rate is brutal
- $1600 for an 8m² - 11m² room
- food near US prices

but
- world-class transport
- amazing food
- very safe

update

> minimax code ui is terrible
> intention -> precision is low
> took more time to iterate the code

might switch back to codex/claude

[Brian @8riantam]

i used claude pro $20 on claude code and hit token limit within 30 mins.

now i'm using minimax $10 plan and basically i got infinite token.

kinda an overlooked way to run claude code.
