I loved reading this, thank you for being so honest and open about it. Your story showed me that I made the right decision in the past. I quit my first startup after 6 months whithout enough traction. Imho your post should be linked to all definitions of the sunk cost fallacy.
Thanks Marvin! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the post and that it was helpful.

I actually think the issue was more akin to the planning fallacy. Like when I’d think to myself “another two months to build this feature and then things will be good”, it wasn’t so much that I was compelled because of the time I had sunk into the journey, it was more that I genuinely anticipated that the results would be better than they actually were.
