Ask IH: What are the biggest challenges that you face as hackers?

Distractions.
Too many ideas, not enough focus.
Playing the long game.
Fast moving world.

Time....Working full-time and doing this on weekends and after work is hard. I've had to take unpaid leave to keep working on it.
Learning front-end and back end dev. No wonder job ads ask for either front or back end devs. It's a lot of work doing both.

Doing marketing with little or no funds
