A startup has a lot in common with a garage band making pop songs. I.e.: "A couple of young, talented people, working out of their garage, create a product in the hope that a big company will buy their effort, and make them a lot of money." Make Something People Want is not fun. The alternative is to go Indy. I'm considering moving to a low-cost country, living a student life, and working on my own projects for a while. If I happen to make Something I Can Make Money From, great. But that's not the point. I'll get to pursue my own ideas, 100% of the time. I'll see just how far I can go.
