A bit of a frustrating day because I kept running into issues with the n8n product photo workflow I'm testing out. Reminding myself to take deep breaths and not hulksmash my expensive devices.
Better to sort out all the bugs now and gain confidence before building it for clients. Next time it happens, I know exactly why and what to do about it. This is generally what non-technical clients pay you for - they just want to know that you know your sh*t. So I gotta know my sh*t. And the only way to know my sh*t is to keep putting in the reps - keep doing, keep making mistakes, keep learning.

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.
