many times I regret joining IRC, where I first heard this word 'startup'. This word, that I did not understand the implications of back then, would unimaginably dictate my life

I was a simple man, not particularly smart --- just a tad bit too curious

and obsessive

I just wanted to make tech.

But I guess, sooner or later, I would hear this word. Startup. I was bound to fall into this rabbit hole

And true enough. I pursued this thing, with blind naivety and youthful energy, all the while with limited understanding of the world around me

there were nights at the office, where I would man the rows of 3D printers printing about, staring at the end-effector for hours, layer by layer by layer by layer.

"Why am I doing this" I thought

Narra3D was not successful, as a business. I spent hundreds of thousands on it, and didn't even reach a fraction of it on earnings.

I had no idea how to run a business. --- I still don't, to be honest.

but I enjoyed it. I enjoyed 3D printing

this obsession with tech, the tech-centric lifestyle, would go on for a few more years, before I learn and rediscover the word 'startup' for myself

So how do you define 'startup' for yourself nowadays?

creating alternative realities

and that is, a very dangerous thing

Sounds like every Technological Invention ever.

Solving a problem, but creates new problems.

Like, the Internet.
