The Importance of Starting a Company

If anyone feels really passionate about starting a company and wants to do it, I would say do it. The one exception I would say that you should probably strongly consider not doing it is if you have a lot of debt for whatever reason or you're not able to live. And so that's kind of the one exception i'd say of the role of starting a company if you want to start a company. That's one of the cool things about being a programmer too and why a lot of programmers end up becoming tech founders. Because if things don't work out, you've got a solid skill set that you'd always kind of fall back to.
