Thinking in the most simplistic form possible - how about engineers just doing what makes them the most happy? Forget about whether we could provide more value

Thinking in the most simplistic form possible - how about engineers just doing what makes them the most happy? Forget about whether we could provide more value at an established company. Maybe building our own products is our passion. That alone will drive more value than doing something we're not passionate about. Just a thought.
Whether early stage startups are overvalued is a different topic to be discussed.

- jbjohns 15y agoGood. No one has the right to having employees. If you want employees, you pay what it takes to attract them. Parker is trying to manipulate the market here to get prices down to what he wants to be paying.
- orblivion 15y agoYeah I was going to respond with a point based on economics, but I think you have me here. The point I was responding to was about value for the engineer. If the engineer creates a lot of value from working for themselves, it would just take that many more dollars to pull them away from it. (This has applied to me as well.)
