There's a fantastic hamburger place down the street from my house. They make a fixed number of patties every day and when they run out, they close for the day. The owners are constantly asked why they don't buy more patties or expand to more locations around town. They've repeatedly stated that they're doing just fine with where they are and have no desire to push things further. There's a certain beauty here that's hard to quantify.

That is an awesome way to run a company. Of course, the nice thing about a software company online is there's never any closing time, but it would be nice to see a software company for once say, "this is big enough, I think we're good here."

Unless, of course, you start to earn a bad reputation for slow support times or bad customer service because your product is so popular, but I guess that is a good problem to have.

Thanks for sharing.
