MailChimp was a side-project for 6 years. Todoist was a side-project for 4 years. Basecamp took 2 years before it was paying their salaries. Maybe the rest of us shouldn't be in such a hurry.
Are you saying 2 years is too long of a runway for bootstrapped startups, or "about right?" Also: isn't the decision to go "full-time" contextual? For Basecamp full-time meant $40k salaries.

Sure. I usually think of “$10k/founder” as a rough measure of ready for full time from Everyone. Saying that should take 3 years is wrong. Hard to find companies that lived at took that long.

"$10k/founder", meaning MRR?

Sorry, are you saying that a shorter, intense sprint (2 weeks, 1 month, whatever) will return better health gains than slow gains over year and years?
Arguably, MailChimp's "slow gains" over time look pretty impressive now...
I'm not encouraging people to "persistently pursue what's not working" but rather to start small, and steadily grow ideas that have good fundamentals.
