I took a job for a startup once. I could stop there and most would understand 😁

We had funding enough for three devs, a project manager, and an IT guy. The product was completely viable, but it was in the advertising space, which is insanely crowded. Our first major partner was another startup, though I questioned it's viability. Our second partner was going to be the gold.

The first failed, and the second just went AWOL. We were left with doing random webdev jobs to survive. Soon I was the only employee, and worked all hours.

I didn't mind though, because I have this burning passion for code. Even did side gigs during all of this.

One day, paycheck didn't post. I draw a hard line there 😋
