It’s a bit of both.
I’m not in the industry or part of a company yet—I’m still on the younger side.
I’ve had many ideas and I work on them, but nothing really takes off. I keep coming back to the same question: is this worth it? Especially because every idea I have, I run it by my friends—they love it, I build it, they don’t use it, and I’m left with a dead project, a half-empty wallet, and goals I could have pushed further with if I hadn't taken up the project.
Bit of an ad because I am trying my best to get my product out there everywhere.

That’s in poor taste.
