If you succed you are basically set for life. If you fail you loose 4-6 years of your life. How is that different from a startup?

For geocities? That can't possibly be that high.

Well, they get paid a lot more money.

I got a much better idea - why not just spell it hazer?

I think all the old WWWII guns are too rusty to be fired at this point - they are almost 60 years old now.

He properly had the knowledge that the eye could not see the difference, or that the phones did not display more than 20 different colors. But yeah that quote isn't the best.

Well Google adwords will get you from the point where you can start to make money until you are big enough to deal directly with the advertisers. That is not a small benefit.

He is partly right, but if you think about what you are doing it shouldn't be such a big issue to scale reasonably well later on. Rails is properly more difficult to get to scale since that was never a concern of DDH when he made it, someth
