I am 42, been in the industry for the past 19 years. Right now, I am in job hunting as well. It does get depressing at times, I tried not to dwell on the misses, and keep on looking forward to the next interview.

If you can afford the money, do get the necessary certifications; PMP, Certified AWS Architect, etc. Else spend time to revise on the interview questions, there's a lot of resources on GitHub.

In between waiting for the next interview, I am trying to get back into shape, pick up a new hobby or skills, etc. Just to keep my mind back to those negative thoughts.

If you need someone to talk to, drop me an email.

- start a blog -> blog about your experience, hits & misses while working on your 2 projects. - share your codes via github. lookout at the monthly hiring thread for job offers.

most importantly look around you to find issues/problems that people are willingly to pay a tiny $5-$20 to get it solve. build mvp, reiterate...

If Zapier is able to keep the no. of spammers under control, the service is going to be great! Keep on rolling out more services to connect the various applications. Limitless..

Rather if the startup has a viable product or service, it should be making money selling it to people who has a need for this product.

- I guess this is only applicable at early stage of the startup. Scaling a startup is very different.
