This. It also caps your fares in a day to the cost of a daily ticket, so you don't get overcharged.

there is a saying "busy hands, calm mind"

That’s an interesting point—what makes you think that’s the case?

Condolences for your loss. It sounds like a difficult period - give yourself time to mourn. Try to fill the time with meaningful experiences - if you like dogs, go to a dog shelter, if you like hiking, go hiking. A lot of sun, sport and good company helps too. Avoid thinking about the future, work or money right now.

People already mentioned this, but take a base salary at least.

Consider posting your product, maybe someone would have an idea of what to do with it or a company might need exactly certain features, even if your product does not have traction at the moment.

Interesting, can a dioxus app built with freyaui also run on the web?

I submitted the article to HN after reading it and I have joined the Exercism Insiders - recurring $10/month, a very fair deal. Hope that has helped a bit!

As someone already mentioned please consider adding ways for monetizing, ads + remove ads, paywall, paid exercises, etc. to stay afloat.

Also please get in touch, email in bio, I don‘t have anything concrete in mind but would like to be in touch. In another life I would gladly be teaching coding, who knows maybe it works out.

Founder life is difficult and grinding, make sure you have an outlet - sport, hobbies, family etc.

Also, hire and empower people to take off some of your work and responsibilities. For many years I didn’t have a proper vacation as I was trying to be always available and this is not the healthy way.

If you can, consider hiring a CEO/COO or get a cofounder.

There is much advice on the web that you should change jobs regularly to get salary raises fast. It is potentially a good advice if you are very good at what you do and your employer is not investing enough to reward you properly. But I’ve seen many cases where a mediocre developer finds a slightly better paying job and your 1+ year investment in training and teaching goes down the drain. Also with LLMs you usually achieve the same as 3-4 juniors.

I am very much pro-training and teaching juniors but there is (was at least) a sense of entitlement and lack of commitment that is detrimental to those efforts.

Because it's not worth the support and complaints. A business account paying $$$ is more likely to see the benefit and the money goes out from preallocated budget.

How about by paying for the work of the WSJ team?
