Technical founders who won't promote their work.
You're not being "authentic" by staying silent.
You're being a coward.
Believing in your product isn't sales. It's honesty.
The fake humble shit is killing better products than the ones winning.

Game dev careers are financial and mental suicide.
Low pay, zero job security, stress through the fucking roof.
Go get an aerospace degree or literally anything sane. Passion won't pay rent, but this industry will drain your soul.
Fight me in the replies.

You spent 5 years making someone else's SaaS profitable.

Those "experimental side projects" that break every rule? They become the tools everyone actually wants.
Meanwhile the "proper" startups with perfect pitch decks and design principles ship boring clones nobody uses.

Proper SaaS architecture? Design systems? Market validation?
Fuck that.
Build messy. Build absurd. Build for your own weird problems.
The playground mentality wins because you're solving real friction, not imaginary TAM.

The loneliness isn't romantic. It's just lonely.
You're the developer, the marketer, the support team, and the janitor. Everyone's watching you fail in real-time, and there's nobody to share the weight with.
That's the actual journey. Not the LinkedIn version.
