Thanks for reading! When it comes to validation, I think (a favorite artist of mine) Porter Robinson can be used as inspiration. He said something along the lines of “one of the most important things we do is to forget what we are doing is work”. In his best moments he has just let himself be driven by curiousity, and I think there is a lot to be learnt from that. While if you are going to do something for a living, you of course should check if what you will make is viable before spending half a year working on it, but I think it makes a big difference if it starts with curiosity, and after being validated is driven by curiosity. Making it possible to have it as a job, but also just letting it be fun and silly.
