One thing that is both awesome and a bit sad: Literally every founder in devtools is authentically excited about what they are building. None of them are cynical MBAs focused on how to get rich and powerful. Not all of their businesses will work, even if the tech is amazing.
It puts me in an interesting position where 100% of my pitches are enjoyable and super dynamic. But the unfortunate position where I can’t always invest. One day, I’ll be post-economic and just yolo into every authentically excited devtool founder.
@terronk Thats why I love devtools. Building something useful is the easy part - building a business is the hard part. You’re guaranteed a technical challenge, which is fulfilling, but the real challenge is everything else.
