I quit a $5K/month job to build an AI SaaS. Most people think I'm insane. Maybe they're right.
Three weeks ago I handed in my resignation. Stable salary, good team, clear career path. I walked away from all of it.
Not because I hated it. Because I couldn't stop thinking about this one problem I kept seeing over and over — and I became obsessed with the idea of solving it with AI.
Here's the thing nobody tells you about the first weeks of building something from scratch:
It's not exciting. It's terrifying.
You wake up and there's no one telling you what to do. No meetings. No structure. Just you, a blank screen, and the constant voice in your head asking "what if this doesn't work?"
I'm not writing this to inspire anyone. I'm writing this because I want to document the journey honestly — the good days and the ugly ones.
I'm currently in early beta, talking to potential customers, and trying to figure out if I'm building something people actually want or just something I think is cool.
If you've done this before — quit something stable to build something uncertain — I'd genuinely love to hear how the first months felt for you.
And if you're thinking about doing it: what's holding you back?
