As someone dabbling with the topic, I would love to chat with someone that made the step to run your own firm. Are there any good groups to meet others? Would you be up for a Videochat coffee?
There are good groups but they tend to be people who are already deeply involved in the field. The vast majority of what you find, including discussions about this on HN, are complete trash to be quite blunt and it's very demoralizing.
