Thank you!

#12Looks like a great product and congratulations on your success. I miss the days when HN was more stories like this of people using their expertise to make money - whether it was code, book launches, writing courses etc. Is that harder to do these days, or has the HN news appetite shifted?

Maybe! But on the other side I can work when and how I want, it's a big bonus as for me.

It is if you live outside of the US or if you'd never make it into a FAANG, because of lack of credentials and/or connections.
Or. If you like the idea of having no boss, no standup meetings, no Jira, no commutes, no open office plan, etc.

#17What I took away from this story is that I forget that there are ecosystems outside the Apple App Store. I’ve become so accustomed to thinking of releasing on Apple first that I didn’t even know you could make money through Teams addons.

Nothing beats the freedom and fulfillment of owning and operating your own business. A job at a FAANG company with a high salary is so overrated. I know, since I have worked in multiple FAANG companies over the last 12 years.

Yep, Teams store is a hidden gem.
