This will be a bit of a nostalgic memory moment.

I believe that most makers got into computers at an early age and worked in programs that may have already fallen into disrepair, but were crucial for their development and career direction.

Growing up, I sometimes wished I had someone in my family who was more action-oriented and could guide me towards business.

Coming from a post-communist country like Slovakia, most older generations were used to simply being employed. So when I wanted to become independent and start my own business, my family often tried to talk me out of it, made excuses for why it wouldn t work, or even laughed at me.

As we want to achieve big things, we have a tendency to downplay our limits, exhaustion, and health.

And we forget that it is time to stop.
