“I have always wanted to be a tech entrepreneur” David Hernst told SVChronicle. “I have watched hundreds of hours of interviews with entrepreneurs, and have read through gigabytes of material on startups. I could even sit through PandoMonthly interviews without dozing off” he said. “Everything I read and heard seemed to suggest that quitting my job was the first thing to do. Many folks even suggested that everything else would fall in place” David reasoned. He had quit his job on Friday.

“I have a three-monitor setup to improve productivity as well, and I have the Macbook Pro 15” Retina that every single founder I watched was carrying”. The only thing that remains to be figured out, he said, was what to work on. For now, he is spending time on Hacker News – “I get a feeling there are many like me out there” he said, beaming with hope.
