#2 is really quite absurd - especially here of all places - how do you decide if a product or service will never "sell out"?

- 12ian34 5y agoAbsurd? I'm definitely more confident that Fish/Zsh will stay free forever without changing their incentives, licensing and pricing than a YC-backed startup whose primary goal is to make money.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoI generally try to avoid startups and either go for established companies (business offers are more likely to stay there and work as expected) or small bootstrapped business (cheap, more likely to stay true to their roots, do one thing well without breaking everything in the future). Startups are good for free trials as they have VC money to spend or finished deals (purchase once, consume once, forget about them).
