I do. It's a shitty suggestion that makes the assumption that the OP has enough money in their bank account to go without a paycheck for several months.
Also, starting a company is an entirely different skillset from software engineering. Just because someone is excellent at writing code doesn't mean they'd be a good leader.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoI didn’t make any assumption. I asked a question. The rationale behind the question is that perhaps the person would want to try running a tiny consultancy. I’ve known many who have done that successfully with similar experience level.
- gwbas1c 4y agoI think you should re-read the phrase "Also, starting a company is an entirely different skillset from software engineering. Just because someone is excellent at writing code doesn't mean they'd be a good leader" Not everyone can be the person in charge; and it's counter productive to force people into leadership roles that they really don't want.
- gwbas1c 4y agoI think the discussion we're having is much more valuable than blocking a bad comment. The insight that we're providing hopefully rubs off on the "it worked for me, so it should work for you" fallacy.
