I did it. In 2019 I quit my job as a software architect and moved from Romania to Ireland and started building apps. Not a smart financial decision, but looking back it was totally worth it. I had no other income, just savings for two years. I became ramen profitable (which in Ireland is pretty expensive) in 10 months and grew from there.
I think having no backup plan makes you more hardworking, not the opposite, but maybe it varies for different people.
I started to be a bit lazy after I earned more from my apps, then went back to hard work after my kid was born.
So it’s hard but possible. Best of luck for anyone who tries.

I don't know anyone who quit their job to live of savings and built something that made money before their savings run out except @AndreyAzimov

I always think it's the wrong way to do it

I think you should build something on the side and once it makes equal or more money than your main job or freelance gigs and it's stable, quit the job and switch

Being unemployed somehow makes people lazy and feel too relaxed to build something, like your day is fully free of commitments which sounds ideal but freedom isn't when stuff is built I think, you need constraints

I had income from my YouTube channel Panda Mix Show in 2013 when I started, and it took over a year before I made enough money to switch

Obviously I wish him well but I think better do the switch than hard quit

Wow, this ad is so Irish, I wouldn’t be surprised if I see it on RTE! The voice, the mug, colcannon, it has it all.
If you want to widen your audience try including Northern Ireland if not already, and England (large Irish community / close enough to get the references).
I don’t think this will land as well in other English speaking countries.

@levelsio Just lick it

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

@harderthanfire @krzyzanowskim Lol faster 😂

@thekitze @sama Do they? I mean yes, cause u still buy a plan from them with a different account. If you would buy it from banthropic, and switch 100% to them, OpenAI saves money.

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

Nice feed

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

@skdh Proof or red (although these days you can fake these easily)

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

@thekitze Sadly we will never know if these are real screenshots or gpt image 2

@Thedesgine @sama Twice as expensive vs 5.4, out of love

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

@sama The most magic thing about 5.5 is how you doubled the API pricing. Doubled with love, ofc.

@thsottiaux @_arohan_ As I was saying

@filippkowalski For me it’s baffling how often I see OpenAI employees trashing Claude while the opposite just doesn’t happen. Claude people just talk about their product. Class

Demis Hassabis’s “Einstein test” for defining AGI:

Train a model on all human knowledge but cut it off at 1911, then see if it can independently discover general relativity (as Einstein did by 1915);

if yes, it’s AGI.

@Fintech00 Toys. Lots of toys

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

@seanallen_dev Yes pretty standard for me for 5 years now.

@iamsubha44 @GrumpyTechChad @unusual_whales You literally don’t bring anything to the table, it’s slop

[Marius Capps @marius_capps]

@MilksandMatcha I keep hearing Codex > Claude Code but I don’t want to pay $200 to confirm it and the $20 plan is too limited
