The attitude that I need to devote myself to the company and forego any outside interests until the company is profitable is really unhealthy. The company I am leaving now wanted me to do that for 5 years. Imagine doing nothing but being at work for 5 years. Or imagine not dating anyone for 5 years because you're spending all your time at the office.
The product is finished now, so I'm leaving, and frankly the only reason I stuck around was because finishing products looks good on a resume.
