im really tempted to quit my job and make this thing that has no potential for income.

50% of it is dissatisfaction with my day job. It pays the bills but i spend all of my time cleaning up after devs that are long gone.

50% is i want this project idea to exist. honestly i just want to make things. i dont remember the last time i just made a thing.

Coding for a corporate where you don't actually make a useful thing and every line of code only serves the purpose of making more profits is the most soul crushing shit ever

At least in retail I helped customers check out that cute crop top they wanted to wear

Quit and go make that thing
