Developers who earn stable MRR through coding are not those who learn quickly within a year.

Want to make a breakthrough in income? First adjust your expectations—unless you're particularly talented or the product itself is solid, you're likely to face rejection in the early stages.

Last year, I built 5 fully functional prototypes. Sounds good? But none of them reached MVP. The problem isn't code quality; it's execution. Often, the technical aspect isn't the issue—it's the speed of decision-making, persistence, and direction adjustment.

This is the reality.

Really, not a single one of the 5 prototypes worked out—I believe that statement. Execution capability is indeed the biggest pitfall.

The one whose five prototypes all turned yellow has something to say, haha

It sounds like you're talking about me... None of the 5 prototypes have passed the MVP stage, that must be really exhausting.

Really, none of the 5 prototypes have an MVP, and that's the most heartbreaking part. No matter how beautiful the code is, what's the use? To be honest, it's still a matter of execution capability.

Really, writing code is just the basics; the hardest part is actually creating something and surviving.

These five unfinished prototypes... aren't they just my copy from last year? Haha

Yeah, that hits close to home. I'm the kind of person who has all 5 prototypes die at the MVP stage. Looking back, it was really a waste of time.

Really, the fact that none of the 5 prototypes passed the MVP really hit me. Me too, technical issues are not the problem; they are even more frustrating because you can't blame the code...
