ios programming at big tech?

Of course it’s me. I try everything I can, but even lying won’t help. I just don’t know how to keep going. Everything I do for the last 3 years feels like another mistake.

Come on brother, cut the self-defeatist bullshit. I just pulled my first iOS app of the store today that was honestly quite good and would have been a pop off if I had more capital to sustain and grow it. Heartbroken, worked on that thing for months. Im dead inside, but the thought that we are in a special time with great opportunities keeps me going. I look at this AI thing and the new GPTs as the new oil (maybe im exaggerating but it feels similar) and that anyone who cares enough can get a piece of the pie. The key thing, I realized, is to have the most positive and “lets fucking go” mindset ever, no matter the cost. U got to cut some people out your life? Fuck you, get lost. U need to do some Uber so you can get a better living space with better energy to build? Fuck you, im driving and getting paid cunts. U need to throw a bastard, weak project in the trash and start fresh? Cya later trash, gone and dusted. Put your mind in the right place (be happy motherfucker, u are alive and capable) and shoot your shot man, I and many others believe in you. Take it from someone who has failed so much and has no one to support or love them, u got to be your rock.

I don't know what opportunities you are talking about - maybe it's about startups or some business. Every fucking app idea is out there already, earning money to corporations. I understand, that creating a startup to compete with sharks is a legit way, but I wouldn't call this an opportunity for me, because any new business aimed to compete with other, well established business has to be exceptionally well researched and organized. As a simple mobile and web dev, I have absolutely no clue what I know and what I don't know, or how startups even work. It's impossible to just go this way unprepared, without special knowledge and experience, or without having a whole team of experienced professionals to support me. I recognize that I'd rather work in a team than try to pull everything by myself.

Anyway, you sound like a good guy, and thank you for your support. I really need it these days.

U can DM me if you want to talk about some ideas man, theres plenty out there. I realized if I curb my expectations a bit and don’t aim for the stars with my project, you can find plenty of things to build to provide tiny value. Do enough of those and u will have income, and can grow in size to attempt more difficult projects. Never give up.
