I concur. I see all these startups where I know I can do much better on the technical side, but I'm just not enthusiastic enough about the subject matter to actually put the time in to do it.
It seems like a lot of these start-ups are the founders' first tries at something big, so they make a lot of mistakes; but since it's new and exciting to them, motivation wins out and they actually accomplish something.
I really admire their enthusiasm and stick-to-it-iveness.
If you've previously had a manager who vetoed your doohickies then there's a risk that some get implemented by your startup. Any of them could be a scalability nightmare.
