Anyway, its an interesting way to test the guts. Question to all hackers and entrepreneur: though it shows that the guy is determined to make his startup work, it can also be termed as foolish (in common default sense) - which way you go?
Interesting points about the about the mental capital angle. I'd like to think I can just focus on my users, but the reality is that I'd probably be more focused on where'd I'd be sleeping that night.
I think you can make an argument that even jumping into a startup is common sense foolish - that is, you're risking way more than what is normal. What I've given up in opportunity costs in other careers is already huge - this just feels like another step. I've always tried to live by the "go big or go home" mantra. In this case, it's quite literal.
Nice post.
