#20 - Kian Bröse - A completely self-taught programmer earnt a million SEK in a few months with Passtider Snabbt

86 min • 8 september 2022

Anna Leijon interviews Kian Bröse, a completely self-taught 20 years old programmer who built Passtider-Snabbt and earned a million SEK during a few months last summer. He started out building bots in computer games such as Iruna Online, created a Youtube channel where he teaches some of his methods which then lead to receiving a lot of freelance gigs. Thus, I call him "the bot king". He wanted to solve problems he saw in society and helped tens of thousands of people to get their passport booking in time before their summer vacation when the government's own system failed to do so. It was a stressful summer and a constant battle between the Police's booking platform who constantly wanted to hinder them, competition popping up, the bank questioning the money's origin (since they had not started a company yet) and so forth. You need to hear his story as he is a super fascinating being and do not forget to subscribe to the podcast!

*Correction* Kian said in the episode that they did not have a functional product when he joined, but Morris has confirmed that he did and which he helped several customers with. It was not an optimal product and customers hade to be hard coded and it was built in Python Selenium. However, when Kian joined, they instead built it with post requests in Python. So the functionality actually was there at the point when they were first making sales, contrary to what was said in the episode.*end of correction*
