RAT RACE #1 · ACQUIRED sold the company at 27 · walked away with $13.32M · peak burnout 84% Gotta go grind out some AI B2B Agentic project now...
The hard part for B2B is the sales not tech. You are better off wining and dining a sales guy as your co founder than doing more vibe coding.
That was fun! Although I was automatically retired, with $1.7M in net worth. That’s hardly enough, especially in California. Maybe the game should ask for a goal number before starting
I don't know if I should feel sad or laugh at the pain at the same time lol. what a wonderful way to reflect reality for a good population of devs. you can hack the game i.e real life 1. live in a cheaper location 2. do things that don't scale & do the ugly work that naturally extends your runway, you don't need to apply to YC remember the median Pay in the US - is 61800 based on ADP the largest payroll provider. so…
Game seems to be heavily weighted towards building side projects. If only you could build a single side project without raising any funds and get acquired for 10M with an 80% cut...
Really? I did great just alternating between "grind" and "lay low". Retired with $4.8m at 25!

This seemed to work best. Unexpected given what I know second-hand about the valley - which is to grind leetcode and keep job hopping.

The hard part is even knowing what someone would pay for. I don't know if a sales guy knows that or not.

This is far from true. There are plenty of expensive places to live away from the coasts
I won by just grinding and touching grass
