Eight thousand in monthly recurring revenue, zero employees, and I work maybe thirty hours a week. People ask how. The answer is aggressively boring choices. Boring stack: one language, one framework, one database I have used for years. Boring features: I ship two improvements a month, not twenty. Boring marketing: one SEO page per week, one newsletter per week, nothing else. Every exotic tool or framework I tried in year one cost me weeks. Every boring choice pays interest. The stack is vanilla, hosting is one server, support is email. And automation does the rest: onboarding emails, dunning, weekly reports. Being solo is not about working more. It is about choosing fewer moving parts.
