lmao, don't listen to these guys saying you're not cut out for it. The market has taken a downturn and it's hard for everyone, especially juniors. What you need to do is work on your skills. Doesn't need to be "feverish intensity" but just something you can show your skills and develop them like a useful side-project. Don't let your skills rust in the meanwhile. Also, have someone take a look over your resume/linkedin and help you with interview practice. That's just as valuable or even more than technical skills.

Also, lmao at the guy saying you can create a 1B dollar product in 5 years. If it were that easy everyone would be a billionaire.

I never said it was _easy_. I said it was _possible_, and it hasn't always been possible to do with a $50/mo starting cost.

That was my point.

Opportunity today is more affordable than it has ever been in the history of computing.
