I’m not sure I understand why people are struggling with how to interpret the post. It reads very straightforward to me: 1. He went through bootstrapping several times, reached great profit at 2 hours a day of work and had a big exit, and achieved freedom to do whatever he wants for a bit. 2. He spent a lot of his newfound freedom filling the day with improving himself and keeping his options open to do anything he wants 3. Then he took a step back and thought about what it was he wanted in life, and that was spending time with family, stability, structure, and committing to a thing. So he went to work for a big corporation that would fill the part of his day that he had been spending on himself alone 4. And is now more fulfilled. The takeaway being that if what you know what you want to be fulfilled you don’t need to grind away at bootstrapping a startup to achieve “freedom” and that with all the freedom he has he ended up working in big tech because that fit his goals and still enabled all the things he wanted in life.
