That's a a great story. It's sad how much time and money is required to launch a profitable business and how many people never get this opportunity in spite of the fact that they could add a lot of value. They just need a few years of runway. Very few people are given that chance. Ex-developers from big tech are in an insanely privileged position, especially if they were able to accumulate some big pay packages. All developers I know outside of big tech are all broke.
