Has anyone here left a great job to start their own company? Did you do it alone or with cofounders? Did you bootstrap? How advanced was it before you quit your job?

I'm going through this process right now. In short:
- Interested in co-founders, have a meeting this week with some potentials, but haven't found the right fit yet, and I'm happy to go at it alone unless I find someone who I'm super compatible with and who shares my vision.
- Planning on leaving my current company sometime this summer/fall, regardless of the state that my app is in by then. I'll likely have some basic functionality up and running , but nothing close to a proper beta. It's just supremely challenging to make significant progress on it while working full time, hence why I'm planning on just taking the leap and going for it.

Anyone else in tech just absolutely hate working in tech? Especially right now with tech being mostly made up of scams like NFTs/Crypto; tech companies working for things like ICE; worker treatment being so bad... Not to mention the general problems like AGILE meaning products get pushed out half baked and it's up to those of us who aren't SLT to placate clients who were sold the moon and get a product that doesn't work.

It's just so exhausting working for companies who actively harm the world.
