What type of person are you? by Gal Shir

If you love making things, try and throw side-projects into the mix! Something has to give way… and in the life of the maker, it often does. There usually comes a time where you’ll have to leave the 9–5 life to focus completely on your own ideas. There’s no better feeling!

Now was my time (for the second time) — I recently left a job at Marvel to focus on an app I’d been building in my evenings and weekends, with the goal to turn it into a real business.

I’d actually been working on this project for quite a few months leading up to leaving my job…But just as I did, something that doesn’t make much sense happened. The Product Hunt hackathon was announced, and I couldn’t resist getting involved. I got a small team together and entered. Now I have more work to do…

ps. Gal also made a coded version of his work life balance interaction — check it out 🔥.

The life of the maker was originally published in Prototypr on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
