The post implies that he must know where the wifi is and that his money is dwindling down to nothing. I have a problem with it because there are lots of people on HN thinking "maybe I can start a business" and stuff like this is needlessly discouraging. Further, if he is successful, he will have shown a wrong and very dangerous approach to starting a business. Going "all in" on something as failure prone as a new business is something no one should do unless they simply have no choice.
- dwightgunning 13y agoThe only thing the author really shares is that they've quit their job, they work from cafes, and they know how much runway they have. Nowhere do they say they plans to work from the cafe forever or the plan is to keep going until the bank account actually reaches zero. And if that is the plan, so what? The reality is there's always risk and there's no right/wrong way to start and grow a successful company. What is important is that they're chasing something and documenting the experience from the very beginning so that others can learn from it. That's encouraging and deserves some credit.
