- kirse 4y agoIf viewed in the narrow interpretation that you're presenting it, then sure, trying and failing at startups is "something other than God". Maybe that is his frustration. But if building a startup is simply part of the process of tested faith through challenges, being stripped of ulterior motives, servant leadership, creating something from nothing, bringing order & structure to chaos, enabling people to feed families, then it's quite on par with discovering who God is. Work itself is a divine activity given from the very beginning, certainly not meant to be our god but about as divinely predestined as one can get on the list of "things one can be doing". I mean shoot, one of the first tasks was to name things, what else is programming other than naming things?
