another cool startup bites the dust, have fun at the day job.

  Working at Twitter isn't really a "day job" (even Facebook or Google wouldn't be a day job in the sense of being an IT guy at a local school district, or something else). There are awesome groups within organizations the size of Google, and even organizations the size of IBM. There's clearly more non-awesome in a big organization too, but if you get stuck in those, you kick back for a year or two, then go do another startup.

    > Working at Twitter isn't really a "day job" Why not? You have a boss and do what he tells you. That's nowhere near having your own startup.

      I think you both overestimate the amount of freedom in having your own startup, and underestimate the amount of freedom in a good role at a larger company.
