I have. Depends on what your goals are when you quit. For me, it was to do a startup, but I made some fundamental mistakes along the way. I spent a good chunk of time learning how to build. Before then, I had never built something from the ground up. So that was good. However, there's a bunch of stuff outside of coding that I didn't know. The biggest thing was I didn't know anything about customer acquisition. Once I built something, I had no idea how to drive people to it. The others are usual mistakes. Not finding another cofounder sooner. Not moving to Silicon Valley. Of course, you'll have people that say you don't need a cofounder or that you don't need silicon valley, but I've found both to be tremendously helpful. So, know yourself and what you need. As long as you know what your goals are when you quit and work towards it, you'll be fine. If anything, it'll give you time to build skills or notoriety.
