...until the auditors come in and tell you the shareholders don't like you innovating like that.

Trust me, even when your bosses are onside, in-house programming is a PITA. You're better off talking to your boss about how the product you made on your own is better than some of their in-house stuff, and that he/she should buy it.

Of course, that's got it's own set of problems.

Yeah. I've got a startup that's two weeks from launching (soft launch unfortunately) and I'm unbelievably excited about it. I'm giving this everything I've got because I don't think I can go another year or two not doing my own thing.

I currently work as an in house guy and it really is a PITA.

I'm with you. Good luck in your venture. Make sure you let us know how it turns out!
