Thank you for taking the time to respond to so many comments.
Note that my remark is more about my own semi-philosophical thoughts on the value of entrepreneurship, and not so much about your particular effort. Perhaps I should've made that more clear. And perhaps I should've posted it to Meta Hacker News, if there were such a place.
Should society motivate people to invest in learning technology, or to organize businesses, both just for the sake of it? I personally prefer the former over the latter, but I can see that both (as well as abstaining from either) have their pluses and minuses.

I can almost agree with you - I'm more on the former side myself. I only work enough to afford food, shelter and some surplus for studying. But I don't see the problem with somebody with more business acumen using the journey to get somewhere. You can both enjoy the hunt and the barbecue. You don't have to pick one.
