> I don’t draw a salary, so the total amount I earned from TinyPilot in 2023 was $236k. People often wonder how I survived on the meager earnings of my first five bootstrapper years.

TIL a $230k income is meager. Jokes aside, what am I misunderstanding here?

I earned roughly zero in my first five years, so that was the part I was saying was "meager." Year six was when I earned the $236k.
