I find it interesting that nobody has asked this question: what is your life situation?

Do you have a family? House/mortgage? Health insurance? You mentioned that CoCalc hires some engineers, some hat’s the burn rate? What do you need to keep working on it?

If you have got your baseline covered, William, i’d say go for it. Your heart is clearly on this path.



> Do you have a family?

Only a spouse, who has an excellent job.

> House/mortgage?

Yes, I bought a detached house 12 years ago in Seattle.

> Health insurance?

Yes, through my spouse.

> You mentioned that CoCalc hires some engineers, so that’s the burn rate?

Yes, we employ 4 people (including me). If we employed three instead, we would not be losing money...
