I have had similar thoughts for some time too! Thoughts of building a co-op, and open source software needed to support it.
Coincidentally, I have a resignation email written, and have been sitting on it for several days. I am looking to quit work (for some time) not to work on an ambitious project, but just to see what will become of me when I do so. I started my career as a freelancer, and ADHD gave me tons of trouble. Structure and accountabiliy that a regular day job brought made my life very easier, motivation-for-work wise. Now after 5 years of doing a day job, I want to see what I will do when I don't have that structure around me.

HN today has been quite a ride for me.
