It was a good article!

I just started my company and I'm doing a lot of things wrong you mentioned ...

Like having a side job ... I tell myself I need to pay the bill until I have at least a prototype to pitch a client.
I really want to go full time but it is not feasible, monetary speaking.

I also keep secret what I'm doing except to a few because it's a very competitive industry and I know other companies could create a team of 50 developers without even batting an eye and create what I'm thinking super quickly.
So for this point, I may be biased but I would say it's ok to share but only once you're ready to go live and improve on the way.

First of all, I wish you a great luck! Do not take my pieces of advice as a formula for success, they should ignite some thinking and questioning, but not taken as 100% working strategy. I tried to mention all chain events makes my startup fail, if you believe it's irrelevant for you, feel free to ignore because every startup has their own story.
Once again wish you a luck with your business!

Thanks!
On the contrary, I think your points are totally valid and I'm just pointing out I realized I'm doing the wrong thing.
Then I just give excuses for my behavior ;)
