I may be missing something, but shouldn’t you be giving them to the people who paid for them?
- vxNsr 3y agoYea, or sell them and try to reimburse the people… there are ways to make this somewhat right.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI did my best for 5 years, but I really fucked up the business by over promising (I was young, this was 10 years ago). I hit burnout a couple years in, and kept pushing. Then I had to take on debt to keep going, so I had to get a full time job to start paying off the debt. With a full time job and debt to pay I worked weekends for months to try to deliver, but after years of burnout and still so little progress I eventually had to give up. I’m seeing a lot of comments about “you should do X” but I don’t think a lot of people understand what extreme burnout is like. My mental health was horrible after all of that, and at some point I literally couldn’t will myself to continue. After five years of work I announced the project was over in 2018. Some people understood and some people were upset. But I did everything I could for 5 years, and by that point there were a lot of better products on the market that people could actually buy, unlike mine. You give as much as you can but at some point you have to walk away.
