I appreciate the frankness in the tone. Basically it says, "there is a lot of work in making a worthwhile App." It is something that folks struggle with. If you have a great idea, and you start working on it right now, in a few years you'll be able to sell it. Longer event horizon than many are comfortable with. This is because if it sucks they won't get their 'few years' back. They will have to do it again. Some folks feel empowered by that tension, others decide to go work for a big company.
Thanks Chuck, glad you liked my post. The tone was very frank, but I think the message is a little clearer when you spell it out for people in black and white!
