I JFDI with VR. Had a stroke, got separated, sold the house in the posh neighbourhood. Now I live with my kids (part-time) in a 1 bedroom apartment ... moving to a 2 BR.
The same impulsivity that made me JFDI also made me terrible at focus and operations.
Now I make apps that make toddlers giggle, work in an almost no-stress environment where people really do leave at 5pm, and get paid twice a month.
Of course, I still have ideas and side projects...
- technics256 9y agoAnd do you regret doing it? And what would your advice be too people considering it now?
- rz2k 9y agoHave a stroke and get separated? I imagine the advice would be to do what works for you with the hand you're dealt. The context sounds like part of the decision to leave his or her old lifestyle and start something with VR, but also why it didn't work out. Making apps and small games sounds like a third career after the JFDI one, but one without complaints, since it is pleasant and stress free.
