In the process of shutting down my own company. I was bootstrapping a software startup with consulting gigs for the past 5 years. What killed it was my inability to expand, i.e. costly attempts to expand dried up my funds.

Though I learned a lot in running a company I feel I lost touch a bit on the programming side. My bread-and-butter was C/C++/ASM from about 1996-2008. De-rusting those skills now feels somehow liberating.
