I'm currently founding a startup right after graduation. As the CTO with no employees at the moment I'm like every position in the company related to dev and Ops. It's the biggest challenge I've faced as a dev so far. Though I really learn a lot and grow mature pretty fast and it is challenging in a good sense from a technical perspective, I'm facing hard personal problems like insecurity in decision making, doubting my skills since I'm definitely no senior and a mid to high effectiveness to stress.

I've mixed feelings about the pure speed and developments right now, but the good side of things is far more exciting then the bad side is frightening.

What truely pisses me off though, is the missing time to spend here on devRant. FUCK. FML.

Have a good (REST) weekend.

    Good luck with your project. A few things to keep in mind are keep the pace manageable. Slow, consistent growth is much better than rollercoaster growth. When I went freelance, I got myself a Safari Books Online subscription and it is the best investment I ever made. Take it easy, enjoy the journey. I wouldn't have it any other way.

    You already got bigger balls than the majority of the people! Just push through the trouble and prove yourself, then you can leave your insecurity behind.

    Good luck!
