It's been almost ten years since I have toyed with the idea of starting a company. Historically, my focus has been around growing technology at burgeoning organizations. Startups and early stage companies go through growing pains and issues that align with the specific startup's needs.
Having solved these specific problems more than once, one not only establishes a keen understanding of the solution but, an acute anticipation for knowning when these problems will arise. This 'superpower' is what all startups should be looking for in their hiring rounds (in 2025).
Instead of looking for another space to flex this knowledge, I am instead working on a small side project of my own. Since the project will be mostly bootstrapped, there will be a fairly long validation phase. This will launch early on in 2025.
This space will continue to house 'normal-ish' technical writings. In the spirit of building in the open, there will be a new route and collection of posts added to /inpublic in the coming week.
As always: next year (2025) is likely to be better (perhaps only slightly) than this year (2024) for this meandering deluge of non-AI driven anti-mouth blogging. Here's to a year of more writing and sharing more of all the things!
