Nice to connect with a fellow hacker ! It's about quelling loneliness when it comes to building products... and having people in the same boat as you ... like I never realized before IH, that it's OK to keep a side hustle as is and grow organically over the next few years.. instead was trying to be the next venture funded startup ... both are good options... but we need to know what we need to be... it is very liberating personally ... gives lot more options and clarity of thought.
Yes, definitely something liberating about taking your time to figure things out on your own terms. I built my business slowly over 10+ years. Doesn't mean there are no stresses, but at least we can have more control over our thoughts and decisions.
