Seems like the author didn't have any financial pressure due to years at Google so it's hard to judge how serious he was about making money. I think if he didn't have money for rent this month (my experience as a "solo-dev" back in the day) then he would've done consulting/contracting or more profit driving ideas. Making $5000 a year is not realistic for most of us so this just seems like a long vacation with some coding.
But yes B2B is very underrated among younger devs especially. They have huge problems in scale and complexity and most of the money is in there.
