After reading this rant and listening to his talk in startup school, is DHH drinking too much of his own kool-aid?
[I live in SF bay area and work in VC funded startups]
I mean life is not just 37 signals? At some point in time, he has to come out and do another startup. Is he setting himself a trap of doing a very narrow set of startups?
- dhh 18y agoWhy do I have to go out and do another startup? I don't work at a startup, I work at a company. I think this mentality is a big part of what's wrong with the startup culture in the Bay area. This notion that it's inevitable that you have to work for a long string of companies, better not get too attached to any one of them. Jason and I intend to make 37signals a company that'll last for 20 years. Maybe we won't succeed, lots of businesses fail, but that's at least our goal. It's a sad state of affair where such a simple goal is looked upon with suspicion and disbelief.
