> Join a startup "I liked how Adam D'Angelo suggested that people should join a startup that a) has a great team that is still small, and b) has traction, and c) lets you learn a ton of stuff." This is a really big challenge for me. The decision to join a really young team versus running off and doing your own thing is really hard, especially when you see lots of awesome startups that actually have a lot going for them. For instance, if I wasn't so caught up in my own world, I would instantly want to join airbnb. I'm sure they're going to be huge. The question is: Does being a founder outweigh the opportunity of being an early employee at someone else's startup?
