    From Broke, High & $7k in Debt to Building a STEM Telemetry Engine: My FTE, Hard Market Truths, & The Invisible Process

    Man, this post hit home. Thank you for breaking it down like this. The distinction between a "demo meeting" and a "feedback meeting" completely flipped a switch in my head. You're so right: when I offer a "demo", I’m coming in as a salesman trying to pitch. But when I ask for their expert eye...

    This is pure gold, man. Thanks for dropping this breakdown, it confirms a major realization I’ve had over the past few weeks. You hit the nail on the head regarding the 1-on-1 walk-through. Having a standardized backend that solves a universal pain point, but framing the demo around their...

    Haha, fair point on the jargon! You're completely right that if a tutor uses "pedagogical telemetry" in front of a parent, their eyes will roll into the back of their head. That's B2B/STEM positioning for the tutor, not parent-facing copy. On the "Results" point: Final exam grades are the...

    Appreciate the raw reality check, man. Sincerely. You're 100% right on the 90-90 rule of software engineering: the first 90% of the code accounts for 90% of the time, and the remaining 10% takes the other 90%. I don't claim to have a polished, production-ready product yet—that’s precisely why...

    Thanks man! Appreciate the support. On the market research : Good old-fashioned manual digging! I didn't see the point in paying for a tool or building a complex scraper just to validate a fundamental pain point. I spent a full week manually reading through thousands of comments across...

    Haha good catch! I see where the confusion came from! When I say "pedagogical telemetry", I am referring to learning analytics and student retention tracking (measuring cognitive retention curves, prerequisite gaps, and skill mastery over time for a student). I’m not talking about IT system...

    Hey Fastlaners, I’m starting this progress thread not to pitch a product, showcase fake vanity metrics, or ask for hand-outs. I’m starting it because two years ago, a book from this forum shattered my reality, and 1.5 months ago, a single reply from MJ DeMarco redirected my entire strategy...

    Salut mes Fastlaners! I would like to start with a BIG THANK YOU to Mr. DeMarco! You have changed my life in the best way possible. First, my Reticular Activating System. Now, because of you, I can see value everywhere! My micro-processes, such as learning to focus, meditating, journaling...
