I agree with most of the article, except on the following points:

> 1. If you are not full time, then you are at a huge disadvantage

There are pros and cons. If you are your own investor, then working full time on one project is also putting all your eggs in the same basket.

Also having multiple projects allows to make a better prioritization (ie: remove crap) in my experience.

> 2. ... Your cofounder should be somebody that refuses to quit

My opinion is quite the contrary: I'd never pick a cofounder that refuses to quit when it makes sense.

'The Dip' is the obvious recommended book on that topic.

This one is really an over-generalization... There are many places in the world with founded companies that didn't put a foot in the SV (Paris for what I know).
