Hi Veni! What's it like being both an engineer and a founder? Is it fairly different ways of thinking, and if so, is it hard to balance between the two?

Hi Andy! As a solo-founder, I wear a lot of different hats. I am the engineer, marketer, product person, etc. I started out with dev skills and had to pick up a lot of the other skills. I am a multipotentialite so it is fun for me to always be learning new things.

When I worked as a dev, I was usually given the requirements. I could just focus on coding. Now, I am also the one talking to members and coming up w/ requirements. At the beginning it was definitely hard because I wanted to spend all of my time just coding. However, coding is not the solution to everything so you have to pick up skills like marketing šŸ˜
