> What I need is 3 months of runway so I can do exactly that.

I think you need to be more realistic about your priorities right now, you need a job, any job, and a roof over your head mate.

The OS and runway for a start up can wait. This is not an investable proposition for anyone, what happens after 3 months of runway on a vibe coded OS?

Where's the go to market plan, where's the viable business here? I'm not saying none of that exists but you need to put yourself on more stable footing before working on it, otherwise it will remain a pipe dream.



It's not vibe code.

Please show me a vibe coded OS containing over 20 separate projects all merging together.

A from scratch kernel, from scratch hypervisor, from scratch everything.

Theres a big difference between systema architecture with AI tooling and vibe coding a little app.

This is not a vibe coded application.

I'm a 40 year old man. If I had the option to go get a job I would.

What would I do with my dog while I'm at a job? Do I leave him in the tent while I go off for 8 hours or more each day?

I'm guessing you don't fully grasp the point I'm aiming for here.

I'm hoping someone will see this and understand that I'm better than a dead end job. My brain is very unique and has the ability to do things others can't.

Honestly, if I could just go out and get a job and a place to live in would not be posting things like this.


Try this...

Go beg with your dog until you make enough for a case of water and supplies (marker / board). You sell your water for a dollar until you have made enough for a cooler, ice and more water. You keep selling water daily and move locations until you are making $100 a day. You take the money get an apartment and keep saving.

You take your savings and go to every rust conference / local meetup you can afford to travel to. You write blogs, make connections in the rust community.

If you are lucky someone might use it and write a nice tweet which will get more people to notice. One day someone at a large company will use it and pay you for support.

or

Bring the dog with you job hunting do the 35 hours and get support.


I'm not going to beg on the streets tbh. I'm not willing to stoop down to begging on the streets.

I'm not looking to sell water.

I have to be honest, i don't think you understand how real life works.

Your suggestion is to to sell water to make a few pennies and that will get me £2000 for a place to live and allow me to travel the world attending rust conventions.

I'm looking for help, not silly ideas that you saw in a movie once.

Besides anything it's literally illegal to sell food based products (drinks included) here in the UK without a proper license and it could literally land me in court for tax avoidance and all sorts.

Maybe in the US things are different but here in the UK we can't just sit at the side tof he road selling water - it's 5°C out, people don't by water from beggars in the UK.

Surely this is not a serious comment?


How are you eating and getting internet access if you are not begging now?
