Six and a half years ago I launched https://www.masteringmodernpayments.com/, a book to teach people how to integrate Stripe with their Rails app. It generated almost $80k of revenue, mostly front loaded but with a really long tail.

Recently I turned off sales because I was feeling more and more guilty about not having time to update it, and now that I work for Stripe updating it involves a layer of approval.

Of course, now I work for Stripe so I'd say it was a success :)




How did Stripe hire you?


I attended a remote coffee chat[1] and then applied at the jobs page[2] :) I did already know a handful of people that already work there as well.
