Thanks for the kind words. I am proud of my projects, but it takes a lot more than a good looking product to create a financially sustainable startup. I am pretty confident in my ability to build products. But the skill that's really needed is to identify the opportunity vs cost of an idea, to sell a vision, to motivate others to product good quality contribution to your vision, and a crazy amount of luck... That's why I'm putting startup projects in the back burner for now.

In terms of the job hunt process, I don't get it either. FAANGs do have a huge supply/demand imbalance when it comes to tech positions. I guess I just need to be more aggressive in concentrate on more smaller companies.
