That seems a rather defeatest attitude. I was fed up with working for other people 20 years ago. I started my own 1-man software company and write software how I think it should be written. The software isn't perfect, but I'm proud of it. I'm not rich, but I do fine financially. It isn't a viable path for everyone, but it is something to consider if you hate your job.
- 0xbadcafebee 2y agoI am defeated. I think a lot of us are. It's wonderful that you have your own company, but I don't have the grit and self-discipline for it, and I'm still trying to scrape up enough for retirement. A younger me might've liked to try your path, if I'd heard more of those success stories growing up.
- hermitcrab 2y agoI'm sorry to hear that. It's definitely not for everyone.
- ludicity 2y agoI'm the author. This is the track we're on. We also named our company "Hermit" so there's something extremely serendipitous about this comment, hah. I definitely think it isn't viable for many people, but I've also met people who could totally do it that are scared because they're around a lot of people with ability/financial constraints that they simply don't have.
- hermitcrab 2y agoBest of luck. One word of advice: marketing. ;0)
