It's really only failure if you learn nothing and never try again.

- city41 16y agoIt's failure if the energy spent on the project is more than the return. Sure you may learn something, but if all you learned was to become a better web developer at the expense of relationships, physical health, your bank account, etc, then perhaps it would have been better to just create a casual, hobby webapp for fun.
- kranner 16y agoWe're probably thinking of very different things. By learning I meant learning every aspect of launching a startup, including customer development, sales, marketing, SEO, etc. If your role in the startup was limited to programming, then I'd take a very jaundiced view of the state of affairs. And by no means would sacrificing relationships and health compensate for even this.
