  2. Thank you for being positive! Much appreciated!
  3. I'm super productive away in a hotel!! And not productive at home (everyone wants my attention).

    Cost is important, but #1 is getting things done.

    Training for 2 weeks - I keep it to 5 days, yes it is enough. They are already full stack (this is a full stack engineer job) pros. Obviously, they don't know everything - in that case I tell them: "Ask Claude/Claude Code; if Claude/Claude Code does not help you, ask me."

    I give them a relatively small piece of work and see if they sink or swim situation. Some people step up. I want to work with these people.

    I wish I could clone myself - and I now, I think I can, thanks to AI agents. Let me hack a clone agent right now.

  4. I agree, it's a sacrifice. Yes, I've traveled a lot. I'm an ex-executive.

    I'm 53, two kids (one grown up), no pressure to build a family. On the other hand, even when I was younger, my family would not see me anyway (except weekends).

    I frame it like this: I've got to do whatever it takes to take the startup through this most difficult period.
