Hey guys

I just found out this entry about a guy that ran a web designed business and his experiences during 10 years. It is a very interesting read. I was for 3 years on the web design business now I decided to try and make it as an app developer, by the looks on this guys experience it seems like I made a good decision.

Hope you like it.

    Good article. But isn't this just the way it is for all of us anyway? I work stupid hours in media production, and dream of working full time on my own stuff.

    We're all working for the man one way or another...

    I was in web development for 10 years, and I had to get out as well, just like this guy, and for the same reasons. Best decision I made, but It has cost me. Too many people doing it now, and not enough money to be made anymore. It's tedious, monotonous, and I hate people now because of it.

    I am quickly becoming this way too.
