mudge··on Ask HN: If I quit my job, will I ever work again?
I mostly just have opinion about this so I'll give you my opinion.

mudge··on Ask HN: Whats more important? Size of the target market or Passion for an idea.
It has been said that a large part of what commonly makes a startup successful in the end is the persistence and determination of the founders.
