  • Hi, no. I cannot imagine telling my boss that I think I’m better than he so I want to replace him.

    The problem of telling a boss of my boss is that I have no real pro arguments why should he choose me as a leader to replace the current lead, that has been working in the company much longer than I am.

    I also can’t really resolve problems of a boss of my boss because 90% of my tasks - is a “customer” support and low effort copy paste bug fixes, so I have no place to “show myself”.

    I’m not talking about my current job only, it’s my 6th company now, and previous experiences were more or less the same.






  • I agree with this and I plan to involve potential customers as early as possible so they can realistically say if this is something they are willing to pay for. I spend a year of building my current stuff and soon I plan to release an alpha version to validate my implementation. Even if it’s shit - at least I earned a lot of experience from that implementation.




  • Hi, yes, unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time. Besides my ideas, I also have a family and other stuff I need to spend my time too. I understand I can sacrifice my family or health time for my business, but this is no go in my case, because those are more important for me than money.

    I plan to try to optimize my routine time so I have more for my projects





  • Hi. While I can agree that sales thinking is important for a business, I don’t want to be a con artist.

    I already had experience to working with people as that, who sells things that don’t exist yet. Everything was fine till people understand that super cool product they were promised is unreal to implement (so eventually it is a scam).



  • Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah, I understand that I will spend a lot of time on actual management rather than on coding itself. And, frankly speaking, I want this.

    One of the reasons I want to start my own company is that I have a chance to be an architect and a manager on a project I actually enjoy instead of wrestling my way to an architect position in a random company and deal with people who is hard to deal with.
