After 25 years in software engineering I'm quitting my $220K Head of Engineering job. Not because AI is taking it, but because AI took the fun out of it. The parts I enjoyed, thinking through a problem and building the solution myself, got squeezed out. The twist is that the same AI that made the job boring is what makes going solo possible. It's the reason I'm out and the business partner I'm taking with me. This is the first video on CMD + TAB: what the AI shift looks like from inside a tech company, the turning point that made me decide to leave a comfortable salary, and what I'm going to build instead. I'm not starting from zero. These already exist and all of them earn money: • Two short-term rentals I own and operate • One short-term rental I co-host for someone else • https://workdaytracker.com, a SaaS product • https://playlist.tools, a simple online tool The goal is the $60K challenge: $5,000 a month from my own projects. That's the line where they carry me without a salary. Every video on this channel answers the same question: how far along is he?

CMD + TAB is the macOS shortcut for switching apps. That's the whole idea: switching from employee to owner, from one project to the next, from screen work to hands-on work. Honest and practical. Wins and setbacks both get shown. No course, no hustle. Next video, the day I handed in my notice: https://youtu.be/fV7_3Cis5AM #60kchallenge #quitmyjob #ai #softwareengineer #solofounder
