While it's just a quick short article - I think the author would be surprised to learn that many people understand they are sacrificing the career path to pursue their startup and that they understand the odds against them. If at the end of it all you look back and say, jeeze that didn't pan out, I should have worn a suit and stood in line like everyone else, then yeah, you made the wrong call.

But, if you're like me, even if you're dirt broke (yes) and have failed hard (yes), you don't care because you enjoy the ride and are learning along the way. I haven't chosen to skip the career route because this is easy - but because it's the only thing I can do. I doubt the author would understand that...or maybe it's just a throwaway article written to get a few hits.
