Here's my story.

Two years ago, I dropped out of a mathematically oriented master's. Let's say
I quit because I wanted to found a company. That's what I tell everybody. And
that's what I did.

I can get into the details of why it didn't work, but I'll tell you something
here, something which, until now, I have only written down in places nobody
would read it: I might have been running from reality. Using the company as a
hide-out. "Maybe this will give me a purpose?"

We pulled the plug when we were forced to realize that it was a dead end.

Pause six months. Rethink life. Winter, not a good time.

Moved to another country and tried again. It went better, but still not good
enough.

Again, six months of nothing. Winter.

Travel. Maybe languages are my thing? Different cultures? Get lost. Come back.

Winter.

This time, I'm not letting it steal six months. I'm trying for another project
(Show HN soon), I'm going on another travel, and I'll keep on looking, because
I know one thing: an office will be the death of me. Unfortunately,
programming is generally done in offices.

But there's always that doubt. Got some freelance jobs to make ends meet.
Flipping burgers, for programmers. Can't continue this way. Stability, future,
kids, wives, divorces.

So listen, I can't give you a straight advice. I still don't even know where I
went wrong exactly, or if I went wrong at all. I don't know if I would've been
happier in another place. I sometimes lovingly think back about academia, then
I see what happens there and I want to run even farther away than I already
am.
