I don't want to :( These winter jackets hide my curves and make me less aerodynamic!

Hmm, that's tough to answer since each of them took up probably 1-2 years of my life. Usually 1-3 concurrently. When you invest your entirety into it, you more so feel proud of the journey itself and the act of building. My media brand, biotech, and erp ones were very formative to me.

Real entrepreneurs have rough years, not weeks! Speaking from my own experiences, it has never made me want to scam anyone.....

.....but wanting to commit tax fraud, now that's a whole different discussion 😂

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that headline for the first time. This timeline we're on is worrying.

This is the way. Now install wubuntu, it even comes with Spyware pre-installed!

Good on you! A month ago, I decided to code a proof of concept in days rather than weeks. Surely, being a perfectionist is an anti-pattern? I reached the PoC stage. A week later, I ended up redesigning the entire rdbm and backend architecture cause the future debt i was sensing was getting to me 😂

I worked alongside one of the best decorated scientists in my country. His founded company had technology that did a whole lot of good. It was destroyed by investors and malicious CEOs. You could lead it well for a generation, but like communism, it only takes one bad actor, a dictator, to ruin it.

I usually call my entities (or startups or businesses) an outlet. For over a decade now, if I don't have an outlet, it feels empty. I've built things out of passion, out of love. But truthfully, there have been a lot of outlets I wasn't 'in love with' but rather believed in the opportunity of.

For the first 5 years of being an 'entrepreneur', I've always despised using that term to self label. It felt fake, unnecessary, ego driven. These days, I often have to use it since otherwise I'd have to use too many words to explain why I'm not working for big corporate.
