Ask HN: Who here has built a profitable startup while keeping their day job?
- llcoolv 8y agoI think a lot of people who visit those two websites: https://www.indiehackers.com/ https://www.indiehackers.com/ http://sidehustlehq.com/ http://sidehustlehq.com/
- rman666 8y agoBased on my experience, I think it is a extremely difficult thing to do!
- fsloth 8y agoNot me - but, I think one of the prime examples is Warby Parker. At least according to 'Originals' by Adam Grant. Mr. Grant scoffed at the founders meekness at not going full ahead and passed an opportunity to invest. After WP became successful Mr. Grant realized he had no idea how to gauge peoples tendency to succeed - which prompted him to write the book. Which is an excellent read.

- walkingolof 8y agoSort of, I consulted in the day time and built my company in the evenings, after 3-4 years I switched to full time on my company, 6 years after that I made an exit. While it worked for me, it came at a cost and I did not have a family at the time or any other obligations.
- ryandrake 8y agoTread carefully. If you’re going to do this, read your current employment agreement carefully especially the parts about Intellectual Property. Every medium-to-large company I have worked at has asserted ownership of everything I build, at work or away from work, using my own equipment, on my own time—it doesn't matter. If your employer can imagne a conflict of interest (for example could what you are working on potentially compete with a current or future business of your employer’s?), you’re screwed. I’ve had to end involvement with open source projects and home hobby projects because of the IP threats in my employment agreements. Feel free to take the risk yourself, personally I don’t feel like fighting a room full of corporate lawyers. EDIT: jobsandjobs, sorry to have derailed your good Ask HN question but I thought this was an important and often-overlooked pitfall that people should be aware of.
- buf 8y agoPut it in your contract before you get employed. If starting a company while employed, reach out to your employer saying you're building company X which does Y as a side project and you need a document stating no IP ownership.
- leowoo91 8y agoSure you will be get hired while building a company.
- buf 8y agoI've hired 100+ engineers in my career. The ones with side projects are the best engineers. That said, sure I've had to fire some who don't perform.
- pmalynin 8y agoPretty common question to ask from hiring managers. It shows passion. Passion is a way better predictor of your work quality and commitment than asking ICPC whiteboard questions.
- 8y ago
- Insanity 8y agoMight be easier to combine a day job with freelancing rather than having a startup.
- nathan_f77 8y agoI think it's even easier to combine freelancing with having a startup. That's what I've been doing.
- imhoguy 8y agoIt depends, serious freelancing often requires some kind availability/responsiveness within business hours which may be tough with full-time day job. Of course the same applies to any high touch customer startup too.
- deleted 8y ago[deleted]
- 33degrees 8y agoYes, I tried doing this for a while and it’s frustrating for everyone.
- wilsmex 8y agoBootstrapped https://artcall.org https://artcall.org and trying to gain traction on https://ezzl.art https://ezzl.art while employed full time elsewhere.
- notJim 8y agoFYI, I cannot scroll down on on artcall.org.
- wilsmex 8y agoOh strange, can’t reproduce. Are you on mobile or desktop? Browser?
- thenewcoder21 8y agoI could reproduce on OS X, Desktop, using Google Chrome. Hope that helps!
- dolessdrugs 8y agoWindows, Desktop, Firefox : no issues Windows, Desktop, Chrome: Clicking the scroll bar works; mouse wheel, arrows, page up/page down do not.
- rodolphoarruda 8y agoI could reproduce it on Ubuntu with Chromium.
- neetdavid 8y agoSame for me on Chrome. There's a 'mousewheel' event listener attached to the window that is calling preventDefault()
- Sohcahtoa82 8y agoThis absolutely infuriates me to the point where I'm struggling to remain civil. My blood instantly began boiling after reading that sentence. Why the @#$% does some web designer think it's a good idea to disable mousewheel scrolling?! What does this accomplish? What feature do you gain? What was the goal? I just can't for the life of me grok what would be going through someone's brain when they decide "Hey, you know what would make this page better? Disabling scrolling with your mouse wheel!" EDIT: Maybe the intent was to do something else, like implementing smooth scrolling in JavaScript, and it's not working properly. But if that's the case, the answer is that web devs need to stop trying to mess with scrolling. Implementations rarely work correctly in every browser and it just ruins the UX. Just stop messing with scrolling!
- jepper 8y agoNot really a startup in the sense of a VC backed multi million dollar company but three working friends and me have bootstrapped a fitness websites with science based health advice, mostly free, to basically the largest fitness related website in the Netherlands. Currently employing people, which i think still sounds insane for a hobby project. https://www.fit.nl https://www.fit.nl. 700.000 pageviews a month. App, 2 books, system for training and meal schedules etc. One now works full time as a lead/writer. As a day job I'm a full time resident of orthopedic surgery. Busy days. I've done most of the programming of the website (custom theme on wordpress), product comparison engine and other custom pages. And server admin for discourse, mattermost etc Some important findings: - You have to care otherwise it becomes a chore. In this case it keeps people healthy. We give free advice that i think is pretty good, e.g on the forum, I love that part. The link with the day job is here. Lots of stuff i tell people during clinic hours applies here as well - As its completely different it still feels like a hobby. Learning to do stuff is fun - Clear separation of responsibility, do stuff you are efficient in - A ticketing system for jobs, pick up stuff when you have time. Anybody can add to the ticket list but the list owner decides what comes first. - Keeping the tickets bite sized. GIT to deploy, deploy often - A time tracking system (Toggle) tracks time spent. - Mattermost for private discussions and planning - Meetups and fun activities to keep the group focused - Managed main server (websynthesis) in case the website goes down and the other technical guy or me are unavailable. More expensive but less stress this way.
- kk58 8y agoWhat inspired a doctor to code? I assume that must have an inspiring story
- jepper 8y agoNot really. Picked it up as a child, loved programming and tinkering. Had to choose between computer science and medicine. There are actually lots of things in common, debugging complex systems, building a mental model, abstraction, looking up solutions based on certain hints. Orthopedics is a highly technical field, working with implants, computer surgery, imaging and such so its very useful. Programming trains your problem solving abilities. I really believe everybody should have the opportunity to learn to code.
- chad_strategic 8y agoIf you are going to try to do this, working remote is the ideal situation. When working remote I save about 2 or so hours. Traffic, packing a lunch, office politics, getting dressed, eating breakfast vs. eating breakfast in front of the computer... etc.
- karmajunkie 8y agoMy day job was steady consulting work, but I used that to provide stability while building a company my partners and I sold last year. It wasn't a huge exit (in truth my cut barely covered the extra hours I put into it over four years) and one of these days I'm going to have to write up the history of this project as a cautionary tale about all the mistakes you can make getting involved with a startup. But it was mildly profitable, and with better marketing we probably could have tripled our valuation on exit.
- canadapups 8y agoI have a finance career, plus I built CanadaPups.com. Very little maintenance and costs, but lots of fun to tinker and improve it as a hobby. Just letting it grow on its own as I'm kinda out of ideas of how to kick it up a notch - suggestions welcome!. https://canadapups.com https://canadapups.com
- vorpalhex 8y agoThat's actually a very smooth website for a side project!
- javiramos 8y agoHow did you get the first few customers to achieve enough critical mass to make website successful?
- canadapups 8y agoI needed traffic from the buy-side and sell-side. On the sell side (breeders), I can just google for new customers! Many dog breeders have their own websites. I search for dog breeders and then contact them through their website (either their webform or their published emails). On the buy-side (people looking for pets), I pay for google ads on certain keyword searches. As my website became more relevant, the cost of the ads dropped significantly and I started getting more organic searches. Getting buy-side is more difficult for me. Once you find your new pet, you don't need to visit my website anymore, so customer retention is bad... something I need to work on.
- nickpsecurity 8y agoMaybe curated lists or targeted marketing of stuff people might buy for pets? Maybe training or pet health advice you've collected from experts selling at a low cost? Just brainstorming here.
- CryoLogic 8y agoI started a coding youtube channel that used to make around $1000/mo before the algorithm changes started favoring channels that uploaded more often and my ad rates dropped from about $20CPM to around $4CPM: http://www.youtube.com/devfactor http://www.youtube.com/devfactor Now it makes around $100/mo When I was working on it it was around 4h of work to create a 10min video tutorial. I think I have around 100 tutorials. When I was making low income working for a startup I also did consulting on the side, charged 3-5k for small business websites. Now I work at a big company which pays me enough to survive high CoL so I don't do that anymore.
- deedubaya 8y agoI've got two cash flow positive side-projects while maintaining full-time employment, having a life, wife, and kid. BreezyPDF - https://breezypdf.com https://breezypdf.com - Dead simple PDF generation from URLs. Comes with a rails middleware so all you have to do is add .pdf to the end of a URL to download a PDF of that URL. HOALife - https://hoalife.com https://hoalife.com - A CC&R Inspection and Enforcement tool for property managers.
- elboru 8y agoWas it difficult to get the early users? What did you do to get them to use your websites?
- deedubaya 8y agoThe first users were insanely hard to get. Getting new users never gets easy, but less-hard as you go. First users were usually contacts that I had made within the spaces prior to building. Then old-fashioned marketing and sales pipelines.
- redhale 8y agoI love how one of the Breezy testimonials is from HOALife. Way to dog-food!
- deedubaya 8y agoHa, I should probably update those to customers that are less biased
- quickthrower2 8y agoYou are not the first, you won't be the last :-)
- ed_at_work 8y agoDon't worry OP, your secret is safe with us
- overcast 8y agoSpent the better part of two years building a local food and drink promotion side gig. Building connections, making money, social life, growing photography skills and traveling for something I'm already doing in my life, eating and drinking. Cliche as it may be, that's the key, particularly when adding ANOTHER job on top of your day job. You have to enjoy the shit out of it.
- dpods 8y agoMight not be your typical answer, but I launched an ecommerce store that’s been profitable since the first month. At first I targeted solo devs without much digital design skills, but it turns out that blank sketchpads are very useful to designers and design agencies as well. It’s done well enough where I continue to run out of each batch of inventory and it’s turned a small profit as I continue to order large and larger batches of product. https://sketchpads.co https://sketchpads.co
- redhale 8y agoI love these. You should make whiteboard magnets!
- dpods 8y agoThat’s an interesting idea! I’ll look in to that
- superhuzza 8y agoWow, this is brilliant. So simple yet so useful. How do you plan to deal with competition? It seems like barriers to entry are low.
- pier25 8y agoLinea App for iOS does this. If you have an iPad with an Apple Pencil it's awesome.
- zigzaggy 8y agoThese are awesome. I’m a proposal manager, and I sketch out storyboards with pen and paper during the planning stage. Something like this with pages divided into 1/4ths and 1/8ths would be very helpful.
- mv4 8y agoBrilliant. Best of luck to you.
- sincerely 8y ago
- hopfog 8y agoI built my startup while keeping my job until it was impossible to sustain. I tried really hard to make it work as long as possible. At the time I quit my job the startup was profitable and growing really fast. A few months later we started negotiating an acquisition and closed the deal after working less than a year on it full-time.
- jotm 8y agoI work full time and get/test/ship washer/dryer/dishwasher spare parts in my, uh, spare time. It's profitable at 2000 pounds/month, and can go much, much higher. Fuck this shit because no one should just work 6-8 24/7.
- is_true 8y agoYou buy and sell spare parts?
- patwalls 8y agoI run starterstory.com with a full time job and this month it's on track to make $1,700 revenue. I actually wrote a blog post about balancing side project and full time job: https://starterstory.com/blog/full-time-job-and-full-time-side-project-how-i-stay-productive https://starterstory.com/blog/full-time-job-and-full-time-si... Not sure if that's what you're looking for but hope it helps.
- mcjiggerlog 8y agoI built Artpip (https://artpip.com https://artpip.com) whilst working fulltime. Spent the odd weeknight and some weekends developing it over the course of a few months, then the same again when I added the pro mode once I realised it could actually make me some money. Not sure you could classify it as a startup, but it makes me a few hundred dollars per month. I'd actually love to grow it more but I'm not sure what the best direction to take it in is. If anybody has any feedback or feels like getting involved, feel free to drop me a mail at "tom @ artpip.com"!
- WhompingWindows 8y agoHow about galleries of NASA pics, national parks, and other themes besides art?
- pavel_lishin 8y agoThat's cool! Where do your source your images from?
- mcjiggerlog 8y agoAll from Wikipedia/Wikidata. Now they're served from my own database.
- chrisabrams 8y agoSide projects are healthy just keep adding features here and there you’ll be surprised at what users gravitate towards ;)
- zeptomu 8y agoNice! How is the legal situation with these paintings? They are from well known artists (van Gogh, Monet, ...) - is it now possible to sell them because the artists are dead for a long time - I thought that maybe some descendants hold the (exclusive) right to sell them, but I may be wrong ... Good luck with your endeavor.
- mcjiggerlog 8y ago
- polote 8y agoThat's what I do currently, I'm a full time product manager in a normal company, and I'm also working as a CTO at a startup, we are 3. Two people are working full time, and I only work part time (about 30h per week). I do that, because I like doing multilple things at the same time. But I think it is a very difficult life. I can do that because I have no social life and everything is optimized so that I can work all the time. But I don't think I would recommend that to everyone. Benefits are : * You are never bored * If one of your job annoys you, you can always balance with the other one * You have a lot of money, because you have two salaries, but you also don't have the time to buy anything * And you dont waste time on useless things Disadvantages: * No social life * No time with familly * No leisures * Very tired all the time Honestly having a startup is usually not only something you can focus on only the night, you need to answer clients during the day, you need to monitor everything all the time. But if you love working, this is definitely something that you can enjoy
- pricklypear 8y agoHow long have you been doing this for? Do you think this can be maintained over a long period of time?
- polote 8y agoI have been doing that since may last year, but at beginning I was working much less, maybe max 55h per week. I have been doing 70h+ per week for 4 weeks now, and I don't think I can do much more, you really feel that working ask a lot of energy. But to be honest, 55-60h is possible to maintain a very long period of time, since the 26 of september last year, I worked 2682 hours, which is in average 7,34 hours per day, 51,4 hours per week, and I'm not dead (yet)
- llcoolv 8y agoYes. if you have a balanced, reasonably healthy life style it is absolutely doable. I am able to handle it in my early 30s. In my 20s with all the partying going on it was sometimes a problem to stay focused 12+ hours on a single day book-ended by good rest.
- jmhyer123 8y agoI, along with two other co-founders, have bootstrapped a profitable SaaS startup over the last two years while we all three maintained our day jobs. We all have families but have put in nights/weekends to get it where it is. I just made the jump and quit my day job and the other two are just about to do the same. In retrospect, it was a much safer way to start a business because it took much of the uncertainty out of the equation and eliminated the financial stress. It was possible for us because our startup is a SaaS business, not all businesses can be bootstrapped or built with only nights and weekend efforts. I often wished it would go faster and still think we could have been profitable a year earlier than we were but with time being our biggest constraint it didn't happen. That was the tradeoff we made for financial stability. You have to be OK with small successes and slow progress that evolves into a business/product over time rather than one massive sprint to get an MVP ready to ship in a couple weeks/months.
- coder543 8y agoWhat kind of SaaS business?
- cphills 8y agoEchoing what many have mentioned in this thread. Read your employment agreement for mentions of Intellectual Property, inventors clause, etc. I work full-time and I am launching a side business, but I have a licensing agreement in place with my employer that clearly states my ownership of my businesses IP in exchange for a free license of the product. There is a lot of grey area in employment agreements. Even if there isn't anything that is clearly stated (from your understanding) that would cause issues, it is up to debate in the court of law. The best plan of action is to speak with a lawyer. It took me six months and multiple revisions to my licensing agreement before it was signed, but I can now sleep better at night and launch my business!
- fizx 8y agoI built bonsai.io/websolr.com while working at Twitter in 2010. I left in 2012, keeping a promise to a co-founder that I'd leave if we hit $1M ARR. There were definitely a couple months of pager/ops overload where I hit 100hr workweeks and multiple hundreds of pagers per week. Hypervisor bugs meant that some tasks were hard to automate, and that automation would stochastically fail, so I stayed up til 4am watching the logs and correcting issues, then went back into the office at 10am. Basically, it was a reasonable hedging strategy against either company's failure, but given both succeeded, I lost a good chunk of what I would have made if I was "all in" on either. Plus, it was about as miserable as it sounds, though I learned a ton.
- shdh 8y agoAny insightful takeaways from "watching the logs" and "correcting issues" in terms of what you would do differently?
- fizx 8y agoIf you aren't automatically rolling instances frequently, you will inevitably have some machines that were theoretically cattle but in practice are pets. (This is much easier today with k8s/mesos) More generally, when you claim in system design that you have invariants, if you aren't using automation to enforce your invariants, they will inevitably be bypassed to your detriment by eager and/or lazy engineers. You will find this out at the worst possible time.
- dazhbog 8y agoWe had a different turn of events in our case. Me and my co-founder we were working on the startup, while on our full-time jobs, and we got some grants from governments to allow us to quit and persuit it full time. This was 4 years ago and we are still going strong with sales and grants. Never underestimate the opportunities for free money! Governments, councils, schemes, all have projections, agentas and budgets and if your startup aligns with them you can get 10k to 150k usd just by writing a few proposals..
- simplecomplex 8y agoAny good resources for which grants are available for tech?
- shdh 8y agoCan you post some sources to this information?
- dazhbog 8y agoDont have any guide tbh, it is all luck and prercistence. Just to give you an idea, we apply to multiple grants every 1-2 weeks from websites like younoodle, f6s and we keep an spreadsheet with all the deadlines of each grant (that might have their own website). All this while doing a hardware product and running the baby/startup. Talking with people, the first barrier we see is that people think they can't get or don't deserve grants. They give excuses like, "Oh I never been to country X", "I'm not a resident there", "It's just an idea", etc etc. Most grants will ask you to go to country X, incorporate there in some cases (to attract talent), or get involved and help the ecosystem of that region. For others you just submit a proposal with milestones and you have check, presentations and writeups (and ultimately you do the things you promised). Some examples of grants are, startupInsertXCountry (e.g. StartupChile, StartupPeru, Startup Puerto Rico - P18), LaunchKC (Kansas City), EU H2020 (hard) but also H2020 sub-programs that got H2020 funding for a cause and pass it on to startups as a challenge (robotics challenges, Big-data challenges), HotDesQ (AUS), and many many many more countries that want to be like Silicon Valey) Hope this helps!
- Arqu 8y agoFor what it's worth, it's still work in progress (not really profitable, but getting there). I've been working on it for more than 5 years now for about 2 hours a day on average, steady. Basically, I spend my "hobby time" working on it. Evenings, weekends, late nights, wherever I can squeeze some spare time in. Sometimes it gets hard and frustrating as you would like to push more but don't have the luxury of going full time on it just yet. It gets easier to balance with time as you learn how and when to squeeze in some time to work on it while still maintaining a normal life with job, family and friends.
- smarri 8y agoI run a non-profit outside of my day job. Whilst not a startup in the sense you are probably asking about, there are many parallels. Even though we are non profit we still require well into 6 figures per year to operate and deliver on our charitable purpose. This requires us to pitch for funding at large corporates and investors. We have a big team of enthusiastic people working on the charity, without any scope for renumeration, so the vision has to be compelling. We have to manage regulation, risk, and financial standards. It takes a lot of time. But it's well worth it. You could always consider a 'non profit startup' if you are interested in making an impact other than financial. Best of luck.
- caspervonb 8y agoNot a start up per se, but my Medium blog is fairly profitable, ~2k on a good month.
- wyldfire 8y agoCan't tell if you're serious or not. Is there a way for people to monetize their Medium blogs? If so, what's yours about?
- djstein 8y agoMedium Partner Program!
- caspervonb 8y agoBeen a partner for about a year now, which pays you an undisclosed cut of the members fee from those that engage with your content (meaning claps). Mine is about, uhm, me being a disillusioned 30 year old developer hating how things are done now? Rants like this https://medium.com/commitlog/how-to-design-for-the-modern-web-52eaa926bae2 https://medium.com/commitlog/how-to-design-for-the-modern-we... tend to alright. Throwing in an amazon link when its appropriate, or funny in the above case doesn't hurt either. Kinda got an on-going thing with always pushing K&R books.
- deleted 8y ago[deleted]
- falco925 8y agoI built stratascratch.com working a full-time job and teaching at a university 1-2x a week in the evenings. The idea came from the amount of headaches and inefficiencies I experienced trying to teach non-technical students how to code. I built a platform that made my life easier. It's fairly profitable but not at a scale where I can quit my day job. Since I don't have much free time, I have to hire several freelancers to help with product improvements and sales. For the record, I don't charge my students to use the platform :P
- patd 8y agoI would call it a profitable side-project rather than a startup but I've built a price comparison browser extension : http://www.shoptimate.com http://www.shoptimate.com I'm currently busy launching a SaaS tool http://blockedby.com http://blockedby.com but having two small children, a full time job and Shoptimate.com limits the time I can spend on this.
- hpagey 8y agoWhats the pain point that "blocked by" is trying to solve? Let's say the google analytics or marketo munchkin scripts are blocked by Ad Blocker, what's the marketing team supposed to do?
- krageon 8y agoSeeing as the page mentions "help you solve it", they will help them bypass the filter rules that exist. Deeply unethical IMO, but without adversaries I guess things wouldn't be as interesting as they are today.
- SimianLogic2 8y agoI didn't build one from scratch, but I recently purchased https://introcave.com https://introcave.com for low 6 figures. Though my background is more full stack, my current day job is mostly front end. Most of the product/ux/ui work is done before things hit my desk (agency work), so I really enjoy being able to run something on the side where I'm making those decisions. It's profitable month-to-month, but until it recoups the purchase price I'm thinking of it as a really expensive hobby. I recently purchased a better domain (https://intromaker.com https://intromaker.com), and at some point in the future I'm planning to build a more dynamic render engine and do some sort of subscription service (less targeted at youtubers and more geared towards agencies).
- xcubic 8y agoMay I ask how did you know the website was for sale?
- SimianLogic2 8y agoThere are brokerages. I read about the codetree sale on HN a few years back (just google “codetree sale”) and signed up for the FEInternational list.
- imhoguy 8y agoThanks for the good read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12654277 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12654277 And good luck with your hobby!
- beardface 8y agoWhether or not it will be profitable is yet to be seen, but I am in the process of doing this. As has already been mentioned, make sure the IP is in your name. My employment contract is one of those generic 'everything you think is ours' kind of affairs. I don't know if it would hold up in court but wanted at least some security. I'm in the UK, so this may not be appropriate to where you are. After I proved the idea will work but before I started building the product for real, I went to a solicitor (lawyer) and explained my situation. They draw up a Deed of Understanding and Assignment. This is a document that gives scope to the work and states that my employer has no claim to any work inside that scope. My employer (eventually) signed it, as did I, and a witness. It wasn't free, but I feel safer having it. Even if you're building a product that won't compete with your day job work, do all you can to make sure your employer can't claim it. If you do start making profit and your employer isn't (or is just greedy), it's not outside the realm of possibility that they could find out and claim all rights to it. I also don't see why this couldn't happen after you've left your job, if you built the product while employed. If you think it's going to go somewhere, speak to a lawyer as soon as you can.
- purplezooey 8y agoI built a nice shed while keeping my day job. Does that count?
- xutopia 8y agoIf it increases the value of your house that's good in itself. For fun I did a side project while my friend built a new deck for his cottage. His cottage increased value about the same amount that I sold my side project for.
- lee101 8y agoI built a high frequency cryptocurrency forecasting system https://bitbank.nz https://bitbank.nz and few games in my spare time http://www.wordsmashing.com http://www.wordsmashing.com http://bigmultiplayerchess.com http://bigmultiplayerchess.com http://multiplicationmaster.com http://multiplicationmaster.com hasn't made that much money but allowed me to get paid more at work and tipped our income over the edge so we could get a mortgage on our first house which was nice :) great decision and learning experience building products from the ground up and exciting/grounding interacting with customers who always like to push the limits of your product :) I have noticed others who have a lot of job experience coding but not the business/product experience can find it difficult to prioritise things from a users point of view and or build reusable/extendable systems by anticipating how things are going to change in future. Even if it fails terribly i think its a good learning experience and can work out in your favour... Word Smashing made some money from ads but $0 from listing on the android app store :D -$20 on app store ads actually...
- iends 8y agoIn big multiplayer chess the king/queens are mixed up.
- dsizemore 8y agoUnfortunately it's not profitable and I'm not even sure I'd call it a "startup" but I do have a day job and enjoy building web apps in my free time. My most recent project is http://www.famsnap.com http://www.famsnap.com. I built it after becoming frustrated with the process of finding a photographer to take family photos while we were on vacation. I have around 300 members currently but it has been slow growth. Every photographer I've told loves the idea but there's no place to really promote as posting on Facebook groups or forums is seen as spam and deleted. So I'll keep on growing slowly I guess using Instagram to contact photographers and see where I am in a few years.
- illteratedang 8y agoI've done that. I run a service which let's you sleep with your coworkers. Basically it uses a GPS and those who wish to sleep around can optin. It will cure sexual harassment issues at workplace. Pm me, if u want to get laid with your coworker :)

- Schwolop 8y agoWith a founding team of six for a hardware startup, we couldn't all be paid without going bust, so the best thing was for most of us to keep jobs and accept the reduced speed of development. I've been working one or two evenings a week for 4 years, totalling 1500+ hours, which is close enough to a full-time year now. As the software guy, I also found I spent much of the rest of the week subconsciously thinking through issues and solutions anyway, so by the time I did get that six or so hours to code I was pretty damn productive.
