Nice! Glad you were smart enough to get out of the game once you got far enough. Too many keep going after securing their finances forever imo.

From day 1 I treated my career in software like that of a professional athlete. I knew it would be hard on my mentally and physically, and so I made big moves and took the right risks, always planning to be done in less than 20 years. That was the bet, and it worked.
I have tried a similar mentality. Worked at a hyper growth startup for 4 years, accumulated tons of options. Then, the market shifted, the VCs were smelling blood, and the company got gutted. It’s a hard game 😅
I’m hoping to bootstrap my own SaaS company that is moderately profitable and put ₿ on the balance sheet. I’m sick of playing other people’s games.
