I run BugMuncher (https://www.bugmuncher.com https://www.bugmuncher.com), it started as a side-project 5 years ago, then in September 2015 I packed in freelancing to focus on BugMuncher full time.
As of November 2016 BugMuncher reached profitability - ie: it's my sole source of income, and covers all of my living expenses.
- GordonS 10y agoMy first thought when I read the name was that it only needs the 1st letter changed to take on a whole new meaning as a heterosexist slur. Then I saw you were in the UK too, and wondered if you've also noticed this or it's just me?!
- nkkollaw 10y agoIt might be just you... :-/
- MattBearman 10y agoYou're not the first to notice that, and it's one of many reasons I'm planning to change the name.
- GordonS 10y agoIt's a tricky one that - you don't want to lose the identity you've built up, but recognise the name may have issues. I'm actually in a similar situation; I chose a company name 15 years ago that I now regret because it's difficult to spell and pronounce (and I couldn't get the '.com', which I mistakenly thought wouldn't matter at the time). I've always been too scared to change it!
- nkkollaw 10y agoYour blog is awesome!
