Really interesting issue! Thanks for disclosing your figures. Seeing "normal", realistic figures once in a while is a big inspiration for us mere mortals. I'm quite fed up with superentrepreneurs sharing incredibly successful big numbers... :)
Today's success porn (alongside surviver bias) builds up unrealistic expectations among entrepreneurs and hackers, so no matter how well you're doing, you may always feel like a failure. It's pretty unhealthy.
It's also a facade. The reality is that almost every entrepreneurial story is comprised of successes, failures, accomplishments, challenges, and hardships. No one is killing it all the time.
