I was so keen on solving the FounderHacker challenge that I went on until 1:00AM, skipping dinner -_-" Eventually fed myself, showered, watched TV, and went to bed at 4:00AM. I kept looking back at the code I wrote (after many failed attempts!) and felt super satisfied and accomplished! This was really good training and I'm starting to have a better grasp of Ruby functions. Hence, I still felt like I won the day.
I have a degree in Marketing Management from University of Otago, New Zealand. I ran a successful restaurant for 13 years in Singapore, a brutally competitive market for F&B. I also ran a bakery for 7 of those years. I sold both businesses for 6 figures in 2019.
Then I taught myself to code, and have been working in software since. In 2021, I was hired as General Manager for a restaurant software startup, where I helped market and grow the app to $400k/year revenue.
On the side, I started building my own small projects, aimed at near-passive income. So began a 10,000-hour-long experiment to see if I can make $10k/month by "f*cking around and finding out". This blog is a daily record of the real hours spent & dollars earned.
