> Am I being a weirdo? "Weird" would be if someone chimed in here to say that what you're doing is not OK. "Weird" is those so-called friends of yours telling you you're "nuts", not acknowledging that your priorities may differ from theirs. "Weird" is founders taking VC money before they've found product-market fit, which is something you've already accomplished on your own, without their "help". If someone aspires to build an Uber-sized business, good for them. Not everyone falls in that camp. I definitely do not, and it sounds like you don't either. It's honestly exhausting that this still needs to be explained to some people. Lifestyle choices such as the one you describe are inherently subjective, like what kind of food is your favorite. Some people like Italian food, and some people like Chinese food. Some people prioritize blitz-scaling and take pride in "sleeping on the factory floor"[1], and some people would rather have a semblance of work-life balance. 1. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/elon-musk-says-he-is-sleeping-on-tesla-factory-floor-to-save-time.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/elon-musk-says-he-is-sleepin...
