You solve a problem so well
People notice it
People ask you for help

PROFIT!!

In other news. Tested fnb.tools newsletter subscription flow. Created a list of affiliates in Obsidian -- very quick 'n' dirty solution but it'll do for now. I don't want to obsess over how to organise this or it'll lead me down another ADHD rabbit hole.

Heatiness is giving me a lip ulcer and butt zits (sorry TMI). Not feeling my best this week and have done zero exercise.

Still made it to the desk by 9:00AM and got essential things like client work done, as well as a couple of RoR chapters! Learning so much about how Rails works and things are making more sense now, so I'm happy about that.

The theme is "80s Neon", you're welcome.

About

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.
