Cardsharp on Software : Weblog: "Software Entreprenuerism Dead? Top 5 reasons to hang it all out there:
- Creativity. Where else can you be as inovative and creative? Who likes to work on legacy software projects in maintainence mode? Blech!
- Make a difference. When you leave your office at the end of the day, you know you made an impact. If you don't like how your workplace is shaping up, you can re-shape it.
- Play with new Tech. True you're on a budget (unless the VC's have bestowed a bouty of the long green), but half the fun is in solving difficult problems by piecing together the best new tech the OS community has to offer. New ideas are often put together using the newest technology.
- Education. It seems like I learn 5 years worth of practical knowledge for every 1 year I spend in a software startup. Part of it is the hours. But most of it is simply being thrust into the awkward position of having to find solutions and knowing that if you don't get it done, there's nobody else who will.
- Have a hand in your future. Job security and stability at a large company can be an illusion. In reality you are placing the control of your future into the hands of someone else in hopes that the next RIF won't have your name on it. If you're the project lead at a small company, or you own your own company, you can be sure you'll be the last one fired in the event of a business downturn. Yes, it's more unpredictable and the chances for failure are higher, but at least you have something to say about your own future."

Cardsharp on Software : Weblog: "He said, “Life‘s too short to do Java.“ I had to think about that for a while. My current project is behind schedule as have most of my projects been. Is it true that everything just takes longer in Java? Am I wasting my time with all these layers, containers, frameworks, and XML configuration files? Would I truly be more productive in something else? I had to admit that there was some truth to what he was saying..."
