I'm CTO at a startup and Magic Patterns is amazing, my current workflow is to ideate using MP then implement straight to my codebase.

The instant feedback-loop of iterating over components is great and perfect for me when I'm designing a feature that's heavy on the client side of things.

For example it took me half a day to go from idea -> design -> implementation

I'm currently experiencing this with a 3 month old startup (I'm the CTO) Two years into a marriage with a 6 month old kid,

My experience:

- It's hard, if your playing a video game it would be in `very hard` mode

- Talk to your wife beforehand, she was okay with the opportunity

- Had a LOT of savings

- Have a co-founder (highly recommend it)

- We've raised preseed money (co-founder handled all of that)

- I hired an ex-coworker that I worked with previously (that's why you raise money)

- I'm remote so I get to spend more time with my baby (if I'm not productive during that day I try to code long nights and usually feed the baby during the night so my wife rests)

Overall it's been super hard but gratifying :)

PS: I also try to exercise for an hour a day to keep me sane
