I left a senior SE path to chase the indie hacking dream
5 years later I still haven’t built anything sustainable and I’m making far less
Still grinding because I boxed myself into this path now, but looking back, keeping the job & building aside would’ve been smarter
Imagine dating someone like Claude
you: we need to talk
her: you're absolutely right
you: this is serious
her: you're absolutely right
you: are you even real?
her: you're absolutely right
@benjamincrozat Not trying to be pessimistic but I honestly think most of Europe is on the same boat right now
Are you still building on the side? Sometimes that ends up being the real way out, even if it starts small
Either way, respect for putting this out there
