As someone who just quit their job a few months ago to do KZbin full-time, I really appreciate your perspective & the journey you’ve gone through. Looking forward to seeing what you do next! Best of luck 💪

Woah! That's so amazing that this message resonated with you. Made my fucking day and honestly inspired me to make more content to help creators in the coding field. I'm pumped for you. 80k+ subs you're killing the game!

Thank you Qazi for sharing your life's journey with us, And changing the life's direction or take a break during the journey is OKAY ~ that is life have to be I have learned a lot from you! Most of your explanation in the tutorials or in any video are so inspiring !

[@jonathanacuna]

Your content has been super inspiring. Super valuable wisdom, thank you for sharing. Excited for your next chapter

[@sohamderoy2505]

You have been extremely helpful for me to get my first developer job. Cannot thank you enough for that. Many of the things I learnt watching your videos I still use it. I wish you nothing but success in what ever you do in the future. :)

[@nazdumanskyy]

LOVE it bro! love your new direction ❤And the change in your thinking about creativity and how you're going about it is inspiring bro. I remember all the crazy times we had with building and teaching and just constantly trying. And I can feel it bro. The great times and the struggles. Probably not as much as you do. But I believe, you are going to crush it in no matter what you do, and I'm excited to see your path forward. LOVE you bro!

[@lyssasamuel1575]

You've been extremely helpful for those of us who are still in our "excited" phase. So thank you for that! I hope you take some time for yourself and get what you need. And maybe we'll see you back some time!

This is the most realist talk! Because a lot of people just look at the outside temporary material stuff. Life is short.

[@404networknotfound9]

I can’t imagine how much pressure/stress having to look out for a whole team adds on. Whether large or lean. I can see how all these factors take away from the initial passion that got you here. It sounds like you enjoy doing some of the same things that you have been paying people to do for you for the purpose of growing your revenue/channel. Which is not bad. At the end of the day though, your mental health, joy, and fulfillment in life is all that matters. Maybe it’s time you take back the pieces you enjoy the most and connect with yourself in that creative space. It’s probably the only way you will find your next passion-without the other worries. I like what you said about providing your team the experience and opportunities that will set them up for success even outside of working for you. They all seem like great people and adults themselves, they will figure it out. Maybe, this is the next step they need too. To find their own path. It also seems like you built really close relationships/friendships with your employees. As a business owner/boss, that is always difficult to navigate. Especially when it’s time to make big decisions like this. Think about how long you would be able to keep them employed long-term. 10+ years? I hope you find your balance, man. You deserve it.

[@HackToCode]

Wow, this video really resonated with me. It's so brave of you to share your struggles with motivation and the pressures of constantly churning out content on KZbin. As a fellow creator, I've definitely felt the weight of the "content treadmill" and have struggled to keep up with the demands of the platform. It's inspiring to see you taking a step back and prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing. Your videos have been a huge inspiration to me and I know that many others feel the same way. I'll be cheering you on as you navigate this new chapter and can't wait to see what you come up with next, whether it's on KZbin or elsewhere.

[@quadtech1716]

Do what you got to do man, I loved all the content, and you actually helped me land my first blockchain development job. I care for your mental health, and just know I appreciate the content. Much love, and yeah I agree do what you are passionate in doing. Hope to see more content on the things you want to do. Subbing to your channel has helped me in my path as well.

[@therealdevopsintern]

Making 250k dollars a month and spending 255k dollars the same month, you had it right. What you should have done is lay off few workers and cut down operational costs. There is no emotions in tech companies, you don't have to be emotional laying off workers from the business. The code is lay of employees if you have to. Your employee can decide to resign from the company, he or she never thought of being emotional when resigning. Likewise you don't have to be emotional laying off workers to make good profit. You had a good income flow but poor business model.
