Give it to me straight, guys.
I’m 25. Most of the people I went to high school with are planning weddings, having a nice a job or climbing a corporate tree or whatever. meanwhile, I’ve spent the last 8 years in my room learning music production, Svelte, Python, Django, and now LangGraph/LangChain which took a lot of time and energy but i loved every bit of it.
I don’t have a degree. I don't have a girlfriend. And right now, I’m broke.
Last month, I finally launched the MVP of my first serious startup, I poured everything into it. it got 15 free signups. and $0 Revenue
I honestly fell into a depression. I tried to fix it by doing manual cold outreach (pitching via DMs/Email). It didn’t work obviously, because you need volume for that, and I was doing it by hand. I got depressed again.
Then i realized I can't hide behind the code anymore. I have to become a marketer. I’m committing to turning on the camera and building a personal brand on Twitter to drive traffic. I’m also polishing a second app to handle the social media side, while flowjoy handles the search/text side
My Plan Moving Forward:
Stop crying about being 25 and got nothing to show for it
use my own tool to handle the SEO/Reddit grunt work.
launch the my second app to handle instagram/youtube/tiktok.
get on camera and document this messy journey.
This life feels like a rollercoaster and i don't know if it's just me or is it like this for everyone
