Comment on Ask HN: Why are developers so obsessed with starting their own business?parent

This sounds interesting. Have you written about your ideas?

I haven't, though the germ of an idea has been percolating recently. I keep trying and failing to find some sort of how-to book about it, but whenever I bring this up in hopes that somebody knows what I'm talking about, the response tends to be "well why don't you write one".

The recent article in The Guardian titled "The end of capitalism has begun" is closely relevant and has a lot to say on the economic situation driving these kinds of ideas.

Most of the practical experiences I've had so far have come about either through open source software development, or various large, collaborative, non-hierarchical, non-profit-oriented art and festival projects related to the Burning Man community. Several years helping run a makerspace have also contributed.
