I've done a lot of side projects and worked with a lot of businesses, so I'm starting to get a little jaded about how difficult it is to create or figure out what people want. I'm now realizing I could very easily spend another 8+ months and still not end up with a decent product.

Yeah, I never would've imagined myself thinking this way, but I think you're right.

Very insightful. Would you say it's worthwhile to not settle when it comes to work/hobby then? What would you recommend in my shoes?

How do you reason about the pay decrease joining a startup vs. joining a high paying small company or big company?

Yes, excellent point. Having built side projects and provided consulting for more than eight startups, I've grown somewhat weary of the never-ending pivots, dead ends, etc.

I haven't had a girlfriend in ages and have been living like a college student for way too long.

What a fantastic realization. Concentrating on the fundamentals— which projects, teams, etc are most interesting.
