>The only other member of the company is a CEO and shareholder, who decides how much to keep for himself and how much to pay the employees, but, importantly, does none of the actual work himself. What is actual work? The coding or the graphics or perhaps the music? What about the QA? The way your comment is formatted, I guess you don't mean the accounting, parole, shipping and receiving. On this forum, I often see developers lamenting how much unrelated work, overhead and meetings they have to do and how saying how they could be more productive if they could just be allowed to sit down and code. How much more "actual work" can you and others like you do when you have to meet with lawyers, file trademarks, order hardware/software while staying in a budget. Or perhaps, the CEO does some of those tasks so you can do the "actual work".
