Same here, I was 22 and finishing my CS degree with lots of experience on side projects and ready to jump into the golden .COM days.

Still after all these years, the scars earned in web development projects, make me jump of joy when I get to do native desktop stuff instead.




That's funny, I actually really like web development... when it comes down to it, it's all hacking, only now you get better levels of abstraction.

It's not nearly as bad as the bad old days so to speak, and a lot of things can be very clean and elegant.


I think one reason for me, is that I am way much better doing pure graphics coding for customs components, than trying to make a component out of <div/> coupled with CSS/JavaScript magic.




The deadline for YC's W25 batch is 8pm PT tonight. Go for it!
