I disagree with this. I have a SaaS that depends on me and I have never gotten so much satisfaction from work before. It's not only because I'm making more money than I would ever make as a salaried engineer or because I have a super flexible schedule, but because I have the autonomy to say no to clients and decide in which direction the product goes.

It's hugely liberating, better for investors and employees, and means I can spend more time focused on what's next rather than day-to-day ops. I love what I do, but it shouldn't disappear if I do.
