Your Laravel App Is Not A Business
summary
Builds HTML24, a consulting agency that stays profitable for 16 years and sells for a life‑changing amount; earlier decade of bad websites functions as a 10-year entry ticket into real business. Launches ed.dk/ed.se by scraping ~30,000 restaurants and booking via human callers, reaches 250,000 users/month but finds the marketplace model unprofitable and pivots the free restaurant RMS into resus.com. Trains seriously in paddle for 18 months, lifts three times weekly, ranks ~300 in Denmark and never makes the national team. Principles: focus on the hole in the asteroid, ship, iterate.
