Side Work

So the frustrating thing about startup - especially when you are building proofs-of-concept - is that the primary inventor needs to look elsewhere for money. Sure I dumped all of my major clients but now I have to feed my family for the next 4 months and that means begging for scraps.

It is not that the money sucks - quite the contrary - but I am switching between extremely smart developers and lawyers from my startup to people who send me the same email questions on a daily basis and NEVER READ MY RESPONSES. "Oh, was I supposed to read that?!?"

I think this is the biggest hit to my ego - after all of the "we are going to change the world", the only thing that has changed is my ability to tolerate ignorant clients...
