Your fantastic code doesn't matter unless you solve the problem.
You are encouraged to improve code after the problem is solved.
Ensures you don’t waste a bunch of time optimizing a solution that doesn’t work 😉
It’s like moneyball 👉 nobody cares how pretty you are, how charming or popular, how many Twitter followers, the number of talks, or the design of your Emacs theme …
Do you get on base?

Been having an interesting debate about "managing up" with some friends this morning and interesting patterns cropped up
👇
1) Managing up with a bad manager feels like you're doing their job. You aren't, but it feels like you are.
This is when folks are most frustrated and complain. It sucks for everyone involved.
Manager thinks you're unmanageable. You think manager just gets in the way.
2) Managing up with a great manager feels like Just Communication.
They set direction and talk company priorities.
You decide how to achieve those priorities, communicate blockers and hiccups, proactively say what's up, and keep the manager informed.
3-ish products
~2800 sales
$139,208 revenue post fees
$81,767 expenses
$21/hour 🤔
This must be why most people share only the revenue numbers #open
Now the obvious question: Why would anyone do this?
Well for starters it's still better than a coding job back home. My first job building websites was for $7/hour.
That was in high school.
I eventually got better jobs, yes. Mostly thanks to moving into freelancing, being picky about clients, and choosing to work for foreign clients (primarily US startup land) whenever possible.
That got me to about $70,000/year. It was great. Lived like a king.
