This was his _first six months_ as a freelancer. Making the switch isn't easy. Clearly he's a smart and determined fellow who has a mindset for optimizing his business. Based on this, I expect to see his income grow substantially quarter over quarter.
It's pretty easy to find a token side point in any post and make a dismissive comment, as you have done. On the other hand, his central point was a useful revelation to me, despite my 20+ years of startup business experience.
His post is excellent, and exactly what HN is about.
Totally. I didn't even make $30k a year for the first few years of being a freelancer, although it was just after the dot com boom. Thankfully those days are over and lessons learnt, etc.. :)
