This type of thing is why I was essentially forced to start my own solo company. There isn’t a force on earth which could make me subject myself to all that.

Enjoy your jobs those who will. I’m choosing a different life, even if it doesn’t dump endless money into my bank account.



"forced entrepreneurship" is a thing, and i commend you for the effort. I tried my hand at it, but was not able to find strong PMF despite some early sales.


That’s too bad. I’m in the grey area with some hits and misses. It’s a tough market but I’m surviving.

What did you try if you don’t mind my asking?


I built a browser extension that turned X into a CRM. Did 35 demo's to people and most of them were excited for it, even made a woman cry (in a good way). got ~16 sales but things have plateaued, and actual usage has been mixed for a variety of reasons, namely people use their phones more than their computers.
