Making "startups" and "companies" the default way to "do software" is sometimes necessary, but very often not a good idea. It's absolutely fine to use software, and companies, to solve problems -- but when "software by company" is the focus, a whole lot of crap happens.

The weight of HN opinion is relentlessly hostile to people who think their devices should be more like toasters and less like MIT labs circa 1984.
