Why I'm Done With Subscription Software

From the creator

I'm done with the subscription playbook, and this video is me talking through exactly why. I spent months watching people post their monthly recurring revenue, and I almost turned on the AI copy machine like everyone else, and then I realized I don't want to put more slop on the internet. So this is the new era of the channel. I'm going back to the craftsmanship of software, sitting down to build live, solving real problems for niche audiences, and handing you the finished thing for about the price of a coffee. One flat price, no subscription, yours forever. A little about me, I spent 12 years as an engineer at Apple, and now I build apps live on stream with AI tools and share the whole process as I go.
