Iteration #1: "Go Faster"
We registered Three Dots Labs as a company in 2014, hoping to quit our jobs soon to work on our products. The “soon” turned into ten years of launching side projects and working evenings and weekends. We finally decided to take the leap last year, and we plan to share how it’s going. If you’re in a similar spot, you may find it helpful.
We quit our jobs to help people write software more mindfully
Leaving a principal software engineer role while having a newborn kid, a mortgage to pay, and a house being built may not sound like the best idea. Still, I took a significant pay cut so I could make a living by educating people about software. Some people literally told me that I’m crazy. Well, Miłosz (the co-founder of this blog) and I decided to build a company we love to work at without VC funding.
