> My wife and I also wanted to start a family. TinyPilot only occupied about 20% of my time, but it occupied 90% of my stress. I would have done a terrible job juggling founder stress with new parent stress.
I feel this. Being a founder is hard, and raising kids is very hard. I was a little bit sad when I saw this headline show up on HN, because I've been following you for years, ever since the beginning. I always admired your hardware business, and the yearly retros, and I was sad to see it all end. But after reading the post, I do understand. Congrats on the sale, and on the child. I hope you can find some relief from the stress of being a founder, and I hope your new family will bring you as much joy as my 2 kids have (with +1 on the way for me as well).
Would you build another hardware business, or are you going to try for a software business next?
