Your time-line is remarkably similar to what I've experienced, I also quit my finance job to start a business with a co-founder in 2018 at the age 26. It's also an online product but quite different so it's hard to draw addit

I can confidently say, having rubbed shoulders with the botting / gold farming / hacker community in China that it is HUGE. Like YYYUGE! back when the whole ride hailing industry was still in a subsidy war, you had drivers who wer

I'm still waiting for someone to actually run this as a business. It seems like a pretty obvious use case I wonder why we haven't seen it yet

Ouch. But it also seems that the quality of research is falling? I guess it's cause I come from a technical field but a paper with a bunch of text, citations, and a general concept can be called research in the business field? Is it an

I'd always wanted to take that risk and work on my own startup and I figured this was what was most likely to hold me back at some point. Then I found myself in a situation where I had no girlfriend, my high paying finance job started

I can totally relate to this. I built up a sas previously as a single person then later two person team, so I had to do both dev and sales. It's almost impossible to talk to potential clients after a serious stretch of hardcore coding.

It's quite heartwarming to see how resilient nature is. A lot of near extinct species seems to be making a comeback with the coronavirus slowing down human activity. In a way humans are the real virus lol
