Got my first sales before running out of sacings

My internship ended recently, and I was offered a Junior Software Engineer role. The pay and growth didn’t really align with the effort I was putting in, so I made a tough call.

I left.

I had just one month of internship stipend saved. Instead of job hunting, I decided to use that time to build and ship my own product.

No audience. No launch hype. Just shipping every day and sharing it wherever it made sense.

Today, before that one month even ran out, I got 3 real sales.

It’s not life-changing money, but it’s validation — and honestly, relief. This is the first time something I built made money without a boss, a company name, or a salary attached to it.

Still early, still risky, but this small win changed how I think about betting on myself.

Happy to answer questions or share what worked / didn’t.
