Yeah, I'm here. Ten years on the road and a lot of failed dreams. Some days I feel like finding a high beam and buying some rope. Anyway, it's been a fun 10 years - people should be aware of the risks, but it's fun to try.
I've failed at a lot of things too. I'm not doing exactly what I want to right now in terms of tech, but I'm making up for it in other ways, e.g., playing music. I look back at all the mistakes that have been made though, and I can't really fault anyone else but myself for the trajectory I've taken.
It's up to me to learn and find a better way.
