What Hacker News says?
Really enjoyed reading this article, thank you! Reminds me a lot of Ryan Norbauer's writings ( https://ryan.norbauer.com/journal/the-outsider-option-why-i-... ) on why he sold half his company and the satisfaction he got from being able to focus on doing the work that he considered fun. I hope to engage my interests and hobbies in this way, super thankful that I have the opportunity to try.
