A comment on Ask HN: Late twenties, last four years spent fiddling w/projects. Employability?. Parent comment
I had some success, then got obsessed with AI. After 1-2 years studying nonstop figuring out what to build I ran out of money and had to consult.
I would have made more money working full time... but perhaps not if my next project goes well.
That said, even with what I know now, I'm about to do it all again. The freedom is priceless.
Risk is scary. But going 9-5 to a job hoping for raises, good bosses, and stock liquidation events is even scarier IMO.
