Should I Quit My Job At Meta For My $30K/Month SaaS?
Matt Robinson, a senior software engineer on Meta's AI team, built Live Tourney, a web app golf courses use to run tournaments (QR-code scorecards, live leaderboards), nights and weekends over ~4 years after his course's pro said Golf Genius was too complicated and expensive. It has ~150 golf courses, ~$350K ARR and an ~$800K run rate based on the start of the year. The episode is mostly about whether to quit his job; in a follow-up call he says he is going all in.
