I'm going to get rich and this is how I’m going to do it.
Part 2.

Now don’t take me wrong, I’m not rich yet.
But I'm closer.

4 years ago I was laid off, and this is what happened...

I'm going to get rich and this is how I’m going to do it.

Now don’t take me wrong, I’m not rich yet.

I did my CS degree and worked as a software developer just like my parents expected.
Every day I worked for my 80k/y startup job.
Then last month I was laid off.

@freymakesstuff And both considered it important enough to write you 😅

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

I've been building on this product for 5 years now and feedback like this never gets old. Thanks Michael, you made my day ❤️

[Michael Dyrynda @michaeldyrynda]

@_lhermann Just wanted to say thanks again for stagetimer, and for the first time we used rundown studio this year. Both exceptional pieces of software and kept us in sync across various teams and on schedule across both days of @LaraconAU 🙌🏻

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@forgebitz I have been influenced

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@michaeldyrynda @LaraconAU Hey thanks @michaeldyrynda!
Can I use this as a testimonial on my page?

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

The hardware project will cost me ~$100k in R&D.

Next step is a unit for field tests before locking in the final design. It lands somewhere in between my messy prototype and the sleek final product.

I'm planing a kickstarter presale on my website. 🤞🤞🤞

@lxztlr Slightly exaggerated 😆

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@arvidkahl 2.21 Gigawatt? Great Scott!

@DmytroKrasun @wickedguro same

@lxztlr @protosphinx Certainly the boss battle of enterprise SaaS

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@DavidMansaray It's real

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@leonardoro Why do you think so?

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@BenjaminHouy Not a common problem either to be honest

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@forgebitz The PR department was clocking with that one

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@damonchen We have self driving trash bins before self driving cars

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@d4m1n @DmytroKrasun Look at the fake reviews too

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

Small appreciation post for @DmytroKrasun's app.
This month I went over the 2000/month limit of screenshots and I could just up the hard limit. Great UX ❤️

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@julesocal LOL true!

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

Screw it Trustpilot, I'm clawing back this keyword.

I made a page on my own site that has the same Trustpilot review layout.

Left: Trustpilot
Right: My own

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

How do you guys handle the Truspilot racketeering?
They start you out with a fake 3.5⭐️ and bully you into asking your customers to leave reviews. It's detestable.
Is there any good way to FU them?

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@d4m1n escaping the permanent underclass

[Lukas Hermann @_lhermann]

@grumpypcodes Of course not. Not wasting my time with this lol
