The thing that strikes me about arguments like these is that they are fundamentally one sided. Without even getting into the walking confirmation bias of using your self as an example, the author sets this up so that a simple proportion of people who will just flat out disagree. When it really comes down to it starting something is really about the passion to do it. If you want to succeed the thing you want to succeed at needs to be an idea that you can't get out of your head. So that when you are playing with your kids or managing your bowling league your subconscious brain continues to work away at the idea of moving your business forward. I have known people who tried to start businesses with kids and succeeded I have also known people who start businesses with kids and fail miserably. In the end it is because having kids or not having kids is going to have nothing to do with your success or failure. Being dedicated and inspired to succeed will. Maybe you get your inspiration from your kids as the OP does, or maybe you just really want to see the world with another web framework. Either way, if you truly want it to happen then you will make a version of it work.
