I wrote up a retrospective on my time working as a founder at DirectAI (https://directai.io). We learned a lot and I wanted to share some things I wish I had known ~18 months ago.

Show HN is for things you've made people can try out, take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. You can post this without the Show HN prefix.

The guy made a reflection. After having made a business. So give it a break this is exactly the kind of hard won insight that helps keep Hacker News for hackers. There but for the grace of God goes any one of our great ideas in the pursuit of a passion. Good luck to Ben with whatever's next.

I found this reflection super insightful, thank you. I shared it with my local startup community as read of the week.
