What happened
Shipped a working product in 4-5 hours that became a $1M+ ARR business.

“And so sometimes, I'll take the first two or three weeks of a month-long hackathon just letting the ideas bounce around in my brain so that when I do hit the computer, I have tons of conviction.”
“And that's what happened here is that I waited until till almost the last second. From then, it was just building the solution I needed.”
