Let's bring every 20-something reading this article down to earth for a bit: creating the sort of wealth discussed in this entry IS NOT EASY. It's damn near impossible, in fact. We're raised in a culture that teaches us life will be handed over on a platter and I think it's seriously wrong to fuel those ideals with fictional "what-if" scenarios.
- natrius 19y agoI'd say it's easy compared to building a company that will get acquired by $LARGE_TECH_COMPANY. There are plenty of people going down the route the article describes. They just don't get written about on Techcrunch because the target audiences are usually smaller and there's no huge round of funding to announce. Anyway, most of the stuff discussed on this site doesn't fall within the realm of possibilities that could be described as down to earth. Everyone here is a little crazy. In a good way.
