On: Ask HN: Lead developer but I just don't enjoy management

I'm curious, do you join startups as an early employee, or do you start new companies?

Last few have been my own, but I heartily recommend first joining other startups as an early employee - you win if the company does well, but even if it doesn't, you can win by gaining many years of experience in a smaller number of calendar years.
