It's one of those silver lining things. You end up doing your own start-up instead, which is usually what you preferred anyway. I wonder how many top developers are vanishing from the workforce because their start-up succeeded. A year or three of hard work and then retirement. Or they end up owning/running some other business, where they aren't using their most highly developed skill, programming.
