Why Business? 🚀

26 October 2025

I’m fed up with working on projects which I don’t have full control of. Control here means to have full flexibility and ability to unleash my capacity in as many domains as possible. I crave the “true feeling” of working on a project which:

I am responsible for complete control & responsibility in terms of project delivery and software quality.
I can take responsibility for selling directly to people (customers or other businesses).

Those are major reasons but there are other reasons as well like —

To work on projects which are meaningful to me. At this time of life, I want to work most on both customer utility, sales and business development.
I’m bored of coding so maybe doing business will spice up my software journey and hopefully life.
I’m tired of fixing codebases of other people.
I want to write frontend code of applications in Svelte.
I don’t want to work with react because I don’t like:
- default state management with useState though solutions like Zustand and all Polimander’s state management solutions seem much better to me. (Svelte has a brilliant baked-in solution).
- Routing/router solutions like react-router-dom (which every project uses) is not intuitive as per my frontend developer experience. (Svelte has a folder based router).
- Naming each component in both file name and exported function name seems too much to do to me. (Svelte doesn’t have this problem).
I really want to and am curious about doing business on my own.

I carefully used the term “business” here though the term “startup” is very much common for people trying a business. I personally don’t like the term and Ashner Grover puts this in words better than me — “There is no such thing as a startup and Dhandha (business) is something that makes profit.”

Am I late in doing business?

Sometimes I think that may be I am not doing the right thing and the projects I am doing might fail. And when I see that other people have started business at different ages and it might have been late for me that I should have stafted earlier? The peope I see are - Paul Graham, Elon Musk, DHH, Pieter Levels, Pieter Steinberger, Bill Gates, Vitalik Butlin (and other people as I have talked in my Business document and I see that everyone has done business at their timeline i.e., there is no fixed right time to do it. From Paul Graham I realized the sooner the better but still its better late than never in my case and actually I am not late but at the right time i.e., before 30 I am having a somewhat working business already. ❤️)

Thanks.
