I can't believe that the top comments in a thread on hacker news boil down to: most developers should probably just stick to working 40 hours a week, because most developers don't have the other skills required to run a company.
Yes it's true running a business takes more than just tech skills, and not every developer is capable of running a multi million dollar company.
However, I think that most developers are capable of running a successful small business.
Most people can't run facebook, but most intelligent people can run a small web business.
You may not want to run your own business, but that doesn't mean you don't have the ability.
