That is not a business though, is it?
So there was no risk involved like "Will I tank my future if this fails?".
What I witnessed is that makers who are willing to bet on something with real consequences dislike types as they slow down the progress and therefore the chances of success.
- DandyDev 3y agoWhy don’t _you_ come up with examples where non-VC funded but successful businesses are doing well in part because they chose to ignore types? At this point, I’m not even sure what you are trying to prove and I’m starting to feel that whatever it is, you’re trying to prove it to yourself mostly.
- hardware2win 3y agoSo only business founded with your own money has risk involved? Lol!
- hnlmorg 3y agoI took the comma in your comment to mean “or” rather than “and”. You’re right. It’s not a business. But I am risking my own time (you could argue that time is money :P) Your point is pretty daft though. If was relevant to self-funded startups then it would be relevant to VC funded startups and hobby projects as well. But the fact that you’re having to dismiss all these counter examples people present demonstrates that your point is wrong and you’re simply not willing to back down from your position. Plus there’s been a wealth of companies founded on .NET and Java technologies that are older than some people on here have been alive. So it’s not like examples don’t exist. You’re not just receptive to them.
