You are right, reading the sentence again it doesn't make sense at all.
I definitely confused "technical problems" solved by the company mission vs the feeling of excitement and freedom that a single developer gets solving a "technical problem" in a typical early stage startup.
- ProblemFactory 13y agoI agree with chetanahuja that there are more "single developer's technical problems" in established software companies rather than startups. During my time at Google, there was an engineer next to me working full-time on GCC, because found compilers most fun and technically challenging. On the open-source version, not a private branch or anything. Very few startups would have the scale and stability to allow an employee to work on something that maybe delivers 5% faster code or 5% faster build times in a few year's time.
