On: Sell it or run it, there is no middle ground

[Turing_Machine]

You're perfectly free to start your own business and find out just how much ass-busting is involved in doing that.

[Retra → Turing_Machine]

One of the big problems here is that the skills involved in making money in a successful business are not skills that everyone can or should possess.

For instance, I spent many years of my life studying physics, and that is probably never going to make me very much money.

There's risk. There's ass-busting. But little chance for reward, because the skills are not directly related to networking and wealth-management.

Like I said, what happened in the past doesn't matter. All the employees see is someone taking the bulk of the reward, for not doing much at all. Odds are, we had to replace all of their shit code, or they weren't able to write any of it to start with.
