This whole scene reminds me so much of the record business of yore.

The bit about VCs swooping in with just enough money to keep you alive and not really giving much of a rip about your creative endeavors and as soon as it looks like you might not be a million dollar baby dropping you like a hot potato.

"punk and indie developers". I really like that.



I read an article or comment somewhere that compared making a startup to making a band. There really are a lot of parallels.


Well, a band essentially is a start-up business. Although funding etc. works a little differently.


That's great. I am going to use that instead of bootstrapped from now. It also fits the kind of music we listen to.
