This guy calls himself &quot;wage slave&quot;, which means he&#x27;s not some homeless bum and can sustain himself. He is also on hacker news commenting on stuff, so he does have time. Also I never said fear of failure was bad. I just pointed out that he&#x27;s using his &quot;not being born into a wealthy family&quot; as an excuse when the real reason is in fear of failure or laziness. Lastly, does this guy sound like someone who is actually working on a project but only complaining how he wishes he had more time so he could work more?
