Hard disagree. In his post he's talking about continuing on in his own projects, and about 2025 being essentially more of the same, except this time with no money and no significant stable income. There is other support somewhere he is simply not talking about, because he certainly doesn't mention being worried about paying his rent going forward.



Okay, I’m still not sure why it matters. It’s not like he’s being an ass or saying “anyone can do it” so what’s the harm?

Did you know there are people, right now, who are squandering a fortune on mundane things and won’t have to work a day in their lives? You can be jealous of them (I am) but that’s all.


The entrepreneur is maybe not too strict on the rent payments? Maybe he adds other housekeeping services that balance the money side? Maybe he sells his body. The longer I think about the wilder it gets. I agree with others that while it is intriguing to read about his last year, the way he finances himself on this low level is missing. Depending on where you live even an income of 200k$ can have you living from paycheck to paycheck. So it is very impressive if he pulls this through but how, teach me.


My theory is that he's getting alimony from his big tech ex-wife that supported him through his previous startups(pulling this out of my ass).
