Good eye. Fun fact: I quit my job there, built these Android apps and started growing my SaaS, then got this job to help further fund my stuff on the side. I wasn’t expecting this job to be so boring (the job description sounded fun), or to be able to get away with doing the same thing as my last job. But a month in I started getting back into the groove of working on my stuff while on the clock. I’d love to quit but my revenue figures aren’t there yet.

I previously interviewed with Aha! and was almost immediately turned away because I wasn't (and I quote!) "coding since I was 13" and because I didn't have a CS degree. I ended the interview early because he seemed to have lost interest after I told him I don't have a CS degree. Not a fan of that kind of interview.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I will dig into your comment more later on this week.

I would need ~100 customers to cover expenses. The site is still pre-launch, so I don't know how much it costs to get a paying customer.

Reading this thread has made me feel a whole lot better about myself. Been struggling with burnout and have been working on side projects a good 50% of the time while I overestimate projects to give me larger buffers. I just don't give a fuck anymore. I thought I was alone.

(Yes, I know it's wrong and I want to be more productive, but I hate the work I do and I hate the culture here. So I want to start my own thing.)
