Ask HN: Anyone else give up on trying to get rich?
Let me preference this by saying I'm comfortable where I'm at. I have a solid upper middle class job and I can afford to take vacations and travel.
I'm doing much better than I could of ever hopped to when I was growing up.
However, in my mid 30s, something is different. I went from trying to come up with multi-million dollar ideas and cold calling( tweeting/emailing) VCs asking for funding and feedback. Now I'm just content working on small games.
I have another project which is basically a music/lyric video generator in Unity.
I really like the technical aspects of creating a startup, picking a stack and hacking something together. I hate the business side. Idea guys with half-baked ideas who expect free prototypes. I like building stuff with my friends, but actually figuring out how to make money... That's the hard part.
