The dream of a single-person unicorn is much easier to achieve while you’re still employed. The ‘love of craft’ can be enjoyed, whilst you’re having fun, learning and ideating on all kinds of projects, until you hit the mark, tbh. If you’re doing ‘what you love’ as a side hustle while doing a job you don’t particularly like that covers your bills, you’re in a much better position than risking it all on a whim.

Even if you are in tech and do get laid-off, you’re much more likely to find something quickly in another space than if there’s a 2-year gap in your resumé. And you can always ‘trade-down’ to a more menial job if you’re desperate, whilst you build your dream.
