Honest question... would you rather not have the "peace and quiet" and go at it all on your own not having to go through the motions of a "real job" ?

You bounce your ideas off someone clever enough only to see that idea being implemented before you had the chance to do it only after hearing that the idea was not good enough.

Your ideas, your solutions, your mistakes, your challenges, your problems, your ideas...

No manager one-on-ones, no a$$h0l3 back-biting coworkers, no one-pagers before meetings, no competing down-levels trying to find mistakes in your ideas, no lofty mentors making recommendations on how to improve your visibility.

If you have paying customers and are financially independent, just enjoy it.
