But if you keep your burn rate low and stay on course, you&apos;ll probably get there just as well.  Worrying about competitors beating you to market seems silly to me in most cases.  Definitely in mine anyway.&lt;p&gt;You have to find time to sip your coffee, play with your kids, read HN, and maybe even pull the guitar off the stand once in a while.  Did I mention the wife in there?  Life is not something you&apos;ll starting living after you make it rich.</text></comment>

Recently, however, I find that more and more of what I read is slight variations of what I read before; I don&apos;t learn as much anymore. I think that this is not HN but me, and I think it&apos;s good.&lt;p&gt;Basically, for me, it may very well be that reading HN for the first few months &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; launching, but reading HN for over a year isn&apos;t.&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, it looks like I&apos;m not launching anytime soon.</text></comment>
