Doing a startup in your spare time is a good way to get fired. It is also a good way to ruin your good idea. Part time startups work only if you are trying to start a "home business" that is very different from you day job. You wo

Seriously? You didn't pick up that NO, this is a worthless post. The cat understands action reaction. That is making a thing happen. The right things are about knowing when to stop and do nothing to let things work out. It is about not

Everyone (even non-techies) should do a startup once. Probably when they are young. You should have a lemonade stand. You should learn how to manage your time. You should find out if you have what it takes to build something from beginning
