I should have said this in the post, but even if your startup doesn't take off, the skills you learn along the way are very valuable and will make you better at all of your future jobs.

I hope things work out for you and that they don't take as long as they did for me :).

Calling it a "startup" at this point feels like a wild exaggeration, I have a user account system and a landing page so far.

My current goal is to dedicate the same amount of time to the idea that I spent playing Factorio last year (about 160 hours by Steam's reckoning). At the end of that I will, if nothing else, have learned a lot about Phoenix, which feels like a good bet regardless of any wild dreams of sustaining an income from the other.

Either way though, thanks for the encouragement!
