1. I totally agree and am always ready to leave the day job. I guess what I'm looking at here is the optimal way to get to the quit-job state. I'm not the best developer, so quitting to take on that responsibility seems counter productive ... Leave a job that pays well, allows me some freedom to invest in others working towards my goal - just so that I can devote all my time to work that I'll never be the best at / other would do a better job of ... Part of the problem here is likely the fact that I should probably be in a "non-technical" cofounder role, but I just happen to have enough technical founder skills that prevent me from embracing that approach whole-heartedly.

I'm really trying to find the best balance of risk/reward here -- while accelerating the timeline as much as possible.

2. I'm at the dayjob - so, technicall my time on HN is helping finance the upcoming project... (note to those who work with/for me / are quite possibly reading this: -- this was a lunch break post & you all know I run a number of side projects -- don't get too scared that I'm leaving tomorrow...)
