Suggested Title: "You’re an entrepreneurial developer, so why do you work for someone else?"

• mortenjorck 16y ago
  "You're a chef, so why don't you start your own restaurant?" "You're a mechanic, so why don't you start your own garage?" "You're a retail manager, so why don't you start your own store?" Ad absurdum. But yes, add "entrepreneurial" to any of those and they become perfectly valid questions. But then it really just comes down to "You're entrepreneurially inclined, so why don't you start your own business?"

    Each of those questions can quite simply be answered "Lack of Capital"....This is what is unique about being a software developer. As mentioned in the article you don't need funding to get something up and running.

      what about funding to keep self and family up and running?

        This was addressed in the first part of the article. It doesn't need to be a full time endeavor to start.
