Thinking of starting up - its worth it for the learning

It’s been about 3 months since I jumped into startup life full-time, and I’ve learned more than I ever expected.

Things don’t always go as planned—be prepared for setbacks. We wasted a month of development effort when one developer left us midway.

I only got 10% of the source code, which was useless as new developers didn’t want to work on it. However, I found an undergrad who was motivated and delivered great results!

Work and personal time now blend together, but I feel energized. Burnout often comes from doing the wrong thing, not from doing too much of something you love.

One more learning: having a solid co-founder makes all the difference. Both of us back each other up and show up every time. Startup life is a marathon, not a sprint.

If you’re thinking about starting up, just get started. Moonlight for a few weeks or months to see if it’s what you want to do.

What you won’t regret is the incredible amount of learning along the way.
