Not all developers can work for companies poised to take over an $800B industry. That's the point of managing your own career and your own life, isn't it? Well no, it's a market limitation, not every developer can work for companies that are poised to take over an $800B industry. No matter how successful a developer is at such a company, there will still be a need for developers in less lucrative, more mundane jobs. Not if you quit, make it SaaS and sell it to 3,000 companies for $100/month (or even $1,000/month). Again, that's the risk part, not every developer is in a place in his life where he can quit his job with a steady paycheck and work for some speculative startup that may or may not ever become successful. And besides, didn't you just say that developer who quit his job to work at a small startup shouldn't get an outsized reward just because he took that risk to work for an early stage startup?
