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. 😃
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
All the grey ones are from accounts that have billing issues in App Store

So Apple now decides for App Developers wether they can use in app purchases or not? #appledeveloper #indielife

What if Apple knew about the upcoming GPU/RAM prices crisis and decided not to release the memory heave M5 Pro and M5 Max chips to save money? 🤔

Hot take: the iPhone Air 2 will come with the first 2-in-1 camera. Both 48MP wide and ultrawide built into the same module. Mechanical or magnetic actuator of some sort will switch between the two.

Things I’ve learned since the iPhone 17 series was announced:
- Everyone hates the color Orange
- Samsung Mobile US Twitter handler is more obsessed with Apple than I am
- No one actually wanted a redesigned iPhone
- Brands copying each other is fine only when Samsung does it
- Mr. Beast will now solely be using iPhones on his channel
- Apple finally listened to Android users
- No applause sign at keynote but people still cheering is crazy
- iPhone Pro is for pro TikTokers
- Dua Lipa > Jimmy Fallon
- Tim can still cook
Everyone is talking about Project Indigo by Adobe, but this is what I get when opening the app 😭

My Switch 2 test has been banned, after using the mig switch with perfectly legal dumps of my own cartridges, so it would seem that Nintendo can detect something
Similar reports on reddit are starting to come in.

I strongly recommend that you do not use the mig switch, it was already very risky to use but it is even more so on Switch 2.
The truth why Nintendo doesn’t upgrade all old games from Switch 1 to Switch 2 automatically. They want you to pay $10/game per upgrade and ideally sell you last gen games for $80 each like with Cyberpunk 2077, a 5 year old game. And you will happily spend you cash on this 🤡
Here are loading times of Doom, a 10 year old game from Switch 1, running on an emulator in Switch 2. Absolutely 0 performance gains, nothing. The visuals are 720p on a 1080p Switch 2 screen. The game takes more than 35 seconds to load. Crazy for a $450 console from 2025
