Yeah, I took the extremely-low-risk option of tinkering away as a hobby, while working a normal industry job, until I had a new income source in hand. So I had no employment gap. That turned out to be a viable option for me, but YMMV. For example, some jobs suck up all your time or energy, leaving no slack for side-projects. Anyone can DM me for other tips and tricks. :)
