I think you're misunderstanding the post - the author is not encouraging entrepreneurs to quit, but instead highlighting the importance of choosing your niche carefully.
This seems like sensible advice to me - if you want to maximise your chances of success then pick an area to compete where the number of competitors is proportionally smaller or existing competitors have missed the point.
Just because a market may seem boring doesn't mean the technology used to address it will be.
- Retric 16y agoTo give an idea of how important this is. If twitter had a real competitor in the early days they would have been toast due to technical issues. However, because they where stumbling alone in the dark nobody was there to rob them of customers. Which game them time to grow large enough and competent enough to become a much harder target.
