Why are you trying to talk about "the least amount of money I can get in order to get by"?
I don't really understand this whole "my odds of doing something really small are high, so f* you all, I'm doing that. F* VCs, f* the world, f* working a lot."
That's a terrible attitude if you actually are in this because you enjoy it and want to make a meaningful contribution to society, and not just make some petty money.
And I can already feel the downvotes. Everyone angry at Mr. Cynical because he crashed the "F* VCS!" rally.
In the words of 8Ball and MJG: "Yo stupid ass ain't gone live twice. If you do anything, do it big. If you do it small, do it big."
- 13ren 18y agopg's opinion (it would seem): [9] There are two ways to do work you love: (a) to make money, then work on what you love, or (b) to get a job where you get paid to work on stuff you love. In practice the first phases of both consist mostly of unedifying schleps, and in (b) the second phase is less secure. http://paulgraham.com/startuplessons.html http://paulgraham.com/startuplessons.html
