How I got to $9.99 MRR after 7 years

This is sad to me. This guy seems to have written a genuine post about growing his business to $400 MRR [1], but it leads with self deprecation, and then he follows it with this take down of... himself?

Louis, I don't know you, I've not come across Cloakist before, but you've done something solid here, and MRR is truly a long slope of soul crushing growth and you're playing the game fine. Keep it up. Five months in on Cronitor we were at $410 MRR.

Thanks a lot! Just to clarify, I’m not taking myself down (I’m really happy with where Cloakist is at) - I just felt like writing some satire to mock all similar serious articles in that genre, including my own. And congrats on the awesome work at Cronitor!

At the bottom of the article, he says:

> And if you'd like to read a true, but much more boring story about getting MRR, go here.

It's also an annoying writing style.
