Yeah this is my main problem with the way "startup culture" seems to work. There's a lot of people in my university really pushing people to start their own businesses, but the general reasoning just seems to be "come up with something, advertise so that you get bought out, take the money". There's no emphasis on actually making anything, just on drumming up hype for an idea and selling that.

Well, if hype and vapor is what's getting bought, you might as well try to produce and sell it.

And yeah, that'd be what I don't like about startup culture. I went into software development, not marketing.
