Self-interview — why micro-tools instead of a "real" SaaS
A solo developer interviews himself on five topics — day job, side projects, family, money, and burnout.
This self-interview is currently a Korean-only piece. The framing references the operator's day job (AWS / backend engineering), the 2025-05-27 first-child timeline, and Korean side-project culture in ways that do not translate cleanly into a generic English version.
Read the Korean version at /blog/solo-dev-self-interview-2026. The five topics covered are: relationship with the day job, why 119 micro-tools instead of one "real" SaaS, family balance after the first child arrived, the honest money numbers (sub-$400 in year-one ad revenue), and burnout / sustainability.
If you are running a similar solo operation and want to compare answers, please reach out via /contact. I would like to publish a multi-operator interview piece in late 2026.
