I once quit my job and used my savings to build an app, and then failed badly.
A lot of people ask me about quitting their job to build something, and I always try to stop them.
Because once you quit your job, the financial pressure and stress can crush your motivation to keep building.
In the early days, most apps usually make no revenue, or very little revenue.
Don’t believe those brainless tweets on X like:
“My app made $10k in 2 weeks.”
Lol. That is either an extremely rare lucky case, or they spent a lot of money on paid ads and influencers.
And trust me, if you don’t have experience with ads, you will most likely lose money in the beginning.
Quit your job only when your app is already generating enough profit (profit, not revenue) to cover your normal living expenses. 😃
@jordymaui Wow, an ad for a skill marketplace that takes 50% of profits from everything you earn! Even Apple/Google takes only 30% and people were mad at them 😂
@ilyamiskov I had this issue with all Max series chips for all MacBook Pros I had. If you want battery life on a laptop- unfortunately you have to buy MacBook Air. The M4 chip there has 6 efficiency cores and only 4 performance cores. Great for battery life, not great for performance
