Not really. Remember DHH started and built Basecamp 1.0 and rails while still working on his consultancy business 40 hours a week.
Not every company needs to be next Fb/Google/Amazon. Nothing wrong with having revenue in millions and not billions if you are profitable.
- stephsmithio 8y agoYes exactly. DHH is a great example. I feel like the only metric of success these days is unicorn or not. Again, a harmful dichotomy.
- madamelic 8y ago> Remember DHH started and built Basecamp 1.0 and rails while still working on his consultancy business 40 hours a week. I don't want to assume anything, but from what you've said, it seems like scaling his time up and down as needed would've been very easy. People with hardset 35 - 40 hour / week jobs where they aren't their own boss can't really scale time commitments that easily. Otherwise, I definitely agree.
