You've just had some bad luck with working with the wrong people. Lazy people are a fact of life. However, it would be a mistake to treat the entire "community" with such distain. There are many people who really do work their butts off in attempt to get shit done, especially in the startup word. For example, I've been working tirelessly to launch a new SaaS product and finally got the first real version of it up last night (http://www.brainbankhq.com http://www.brainbankhq.com). It's taken way more time and commitment than I had expected, but it's something I had committed to launching and turning into a success, so quitting was never an option. I know several other people who work their butts off trying to create a product/company that will turn into a success venture. These people work hard, have families and still make large quantities of progress. You're simply projecting your image of a handful of people onto a community. For that, you are wrong.
