It is super difficult (in my opinion and in America) to go from employed programmer to startup founder. Health insurance is tied to employers, and employers have IP assignment and COI policies. These 2 things working together heavily discourage people pursuing their own thing because it adds a ton of overhead to the cost of striking out on your own.
