The last decade or so of startups have mostly been ZIRP phantoms, cookie cutter in most ways. React app, AWS stack, something something like uber but as a service.
There were some great lessons in the earlier days but I think we're well into the hype train now. When people like Neumann and Bankman-Friend are in the peer group, you're probably in the wrong group.
If you're financially flexible (no one to support, etc.) then you can still have a lot of fun as a one-man band, possibly travel somewhere LCOL. Otherwise you might want to consider a corpo job for a while.
- mertleee 2y agoI was able to raise, it's been interesting. But a part of me feels like I just can't take this shit seriously anymore. I'd like to think I just have a real brain and self-respect for thinking this way - or maybe I just suck. Not sure that I actually care, not really that afraid of my 30s if I'm more okay thinking this way. Frankly, I'd prefer to build / consult in a LCOL area with real seasons.
