This resonated well with me - thank you for the article! I jumped into the fray late last year full time and it's been the most exciting (and nerve-racking) few months of my life. As the author says, I feel like I am learning new things, growing personally (and making mistakes) at 10x the speed! (and I live in Jersey City too)
I would say the hardest part for me is balancing time between building and outreach. It's always concerning to build stuff mindlessly without having a tight user loop, but in the beginning it's really hard to wear multiple hats and figure out how to do both. I wish I had a great co-founder who could handle the outreach and audience part, but that's probably like wishing for a genie.
If anyone invests in crypto or stocks at all, feel free to check them out [0][1] - I am always looking for feedback (I haven't publicly "launched" yet but am close).
Fun fact: everything here is in Python, both frontend and backend.

- thedragonline 8y agoI'm guessing the tkinter tooling that comes with Python.
- nyrulez 8y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong but tkinter is only for Desktop GUI I think. I am talking about the new search engine we are creating at coinquanta.com. That's indeed in Python - it's a bold experiment for us but drastically cuts down our development time. We'll write a blog post about our experience and tech stack soon enough.
