Title could be better, but I found it an OK-read. The leap from film work to software work isn't a huge one (today's startup guy is yesterday's starving artist)

This passage in particular is where it begins to get more general

" The whole “start-your-own-company, be-your-own-boss” racket is heavily pushed by government agencies and all kinds of employers. It was first put forth as a solution to high unemployment unemployment and then, less openly, as a route to cut costs and erode worker solidarity and class consciousness. It relies on people’s underlying hatred of work, personified by the boss, and sells the dream of autonomy by telling people that they can become their own, fake, boss. The reality is different."
