I like your attitude - not dwelling on the negative, focusing instead on the positive. There are some lessons there. Could you please elaborate with details?

- fouc 5y agoWhy not just say "Wow! I'd like to hear more!" ?
- robbedpeter 5y agoWhy not just say "Grr! Too many words, you!" ?
- fouc 5y agoIt wasn't that it was too many words.. it just sounded patronizing. Less words would've avoided that issue.

- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoI would say my main lesson is money spent on side projects is money spent on you. It's professional development with the potential upside of your idea taking off. I realized that investing in side projects is a win-win; either the idea takes off or I've gained a lot of operational knowledge at executing on an idea. There is the emotional toll on being tied to the success of the idea but it's much healthier thinking about the idea as a byproduct of your drive to learn something new. This is only for projects that I've worked on alone, in isolation though. I haven't worked on a startup where other people's livelihoods are at stake.
