Quitting to start a tech company is much easier when you have had 3 years of banking $250k per year. It reduces the risk and stress of possibly eating ramen daily. Also investors love when entrepreneurs are willing to invest some of their own money into a concept.

More people on HN, in my opinion, would quit today if they had enough money in a war chest to survive for year or more.
