Congrats on making it this far. Maybe we should start a meetup or support group for hackers who quit their jobs to find their entrepreneurial selves.

I just had my one year anniversary six days ago. Oh how time flies. I left the military to venture out on my own, finish graduate school, and see what happened.

I'd love to tell the rest of the story but I have to go catch a train. If you get a chance, consider writing about the ups and downs of the process. I know in the beginning it really ate me that I wasn't making progress fast enough. Time, progress, and a sweet spot for pain helped :) but yeah... its an interesting process.



I just passed my 7th year of self-employment and have been through many ups and downs. I have learned a lot but still have a lot of questions. I don't comment much on HN, but I respect and trust this community quite a bit. I think a support group is a great idea. Anyone else?
