What If Every Developer Focused On Lifestyle Businesses?

What If Every Developer Focused On Lifestyle Businesses?

By Chris Yeh on March 22, 2011

I recently ran across this post from Justin Vincent, where he argues that entreporn–the overwhelming focus on chasing “the next big thing”–holds developers back from their full potential. Instead, he writes: “The absolute truth is that each and every one of us can build a business that can support us.” That’s bullshit. While Vincent makes […]
