landonhowell··on Ask HN: How many of you built a profitable startup while having a day job?
I built an online news service in 2002/2003 with zero coding knowledge, $100, and a bootleg version of Adobe Illustrator.

I put every spare moment I had into it, skipping lunches and dinners and sleep (though I never skipped church) all for the sake of keeping it lean before keeping it lean was cool.

5 years later I sold it for a paltry sum, mainly because I didn't add enough people fast enough.
