>> Another red flag. Technology doesn't matter and the fact that you mention this instead of business validation you should think twice before making such a commitment. This is a very, very true. I also did this, quit to work on a side project for about 8 months (2008). I wrote a lot of code, but in the end the project had a couple of hard problems and the market was a small number of large corporations. When I finally realized this, and ran the numbers, I discovered my folly. That and I found myself web surfing all day instead of coding. Went back to work. Next project (2011) I also didn't validate the market, but kept working, it never launched. For my third project (2016) I launched but didn't validate the market either. What have I learned? Validate the $#@!ing market before writing a line of code! I'm still trying to figure out how to do this however.
