> My worst fear was that I'd never see him, and we'd grow apart as he became a staggering success. Late nights of toiling over code would lead to private jets and alcohol-fueled company retreats, and I'd be left behind, reading about his corporate conquests under someone else's byline.
I dunno.. doesn’t sound like the “support” I’d want.
- rideontime 3y agoAgreed. Chase your startup dream or be a supportive spouse, doubt there's time for both.
- tmpz22 3y agoIts kind of wild how people equate having a startup to having money. I guess I take it for granted knowing the dirtier underside to startups, the fact that the investment money isn't a slushfund (unless you commit multiple felonies). That the marketing and projection of the company is ludicrously overblown. And that the community is optimistic to a fault - going as far as to cargo-cult objectively bad solutions. And finally of course that most startups fall on their face. That even many acquisitions can be a net-negative to both the team and product. You'd have thought the Theranos/FTX stuff would cool the ideation but I guess not.
