Big Business

2001-05-20 02:30:55+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

It seems to me the big failure of the web boom won't be all of the stupid ideas that failed, it'll be all of the great small ideas that could've supported a 5 person company, but instead have been built into 50, or even 500 person companies because they had to try to grow to match the faith put in them by their investors, and are now finding it impossible to support all that infrastructure. For instance, I don't know how long Sendmail is going to survive, but I think the folks who write Ghostscript will probably make a living for quite a while.
