I’ll update the title too! Thanks feedback, could be better descried.

Haha love it, and that’s fair. Still figuring out what works, it’s meant to be an experiment more than anything. Could very well be a major failure, but won’t know until I try right?

I’ve spent so much money and time building full end-to-end products before that got little to no traction, so trying the validate-first approach this time. Closer to a waitlist play than anything fancy. Borrowed the format from Pieter Levels (12 startups in 12 months).

Sounds like you’ve had success launching direct without waitlists. Would love to hear about your experience, what you did differently. Always trying to learn.

I've just shared an essay about my journey: leaving a tech job, backpacking across Europe, learning to code in Japan, and then launching our startup, Sinta. It's a blend of personal adventure and professional pivot, culminating in the creation of a tool aimed at improving the hiring process.

This story might resonate with those who've contemplated or embarked on a radical career shift, particularly in the tech world. Sinta is the result of my experiences - from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, and it's designed to make hiring more efficient and fair.

I'd love to hear thoughts from the Hacker News community on career changes, tech entrepreneurship, and innovations in hiring processes. Your insights would be invaluable.

I wrote an article on improving the hiring cycle with structured interviews, check it out.
