Use chatgpt to compliment and accelerate your programming. I was ready to learn Arduino as my first language for an industrial automation project. Someone suggested feeding logic to chatgpt to have it write the code. It took what would have been months of learning and troubleshooting down to about 9 hours of work.
I totally relate to feeling like I couldn’t be successful in business with a full time job. I’m just not one of those “grind 25 hours/8 days a week” people. Once I left my job business picked up tenfold. That being said I had been saving and investing hardcore for 5 years and could have supported myself on zero income for several years if necessary. 5 months wouldn’t be nearly enough for me to feel comfortable making the switch.
