Would you rather build a very successful & boring startup, or work on something super cool, with no clear way of turning a profit?

- edanm 17y agoThat's a good question, and I'm sure people go either way on this. I for one am definitely looking for success, but I try to find it by doing things I like and care about. I'm comforted by Paul Graham's thoughts on this, namely that if you build something people like, you'll usually manage to find a profit somewhere.

- jteo 17y agoSuccess is success. The details are secondary.
- giffc 17y agothis attitude doesn't prevent successes, but it does lead to unnecessarily high failure rates
