Why Founders Should Be The Developers

All too often I have seen great developers fall into the investment trap. They build a cool product, they receive investment and it is now their duty to manage a company. Their main intention was to spend time building products people like, but now they are told to raise more money, to grow faster, to generate more money, to build a bigger team, to make more profit and to sell their company for more than it is worth. And then go back to being a programmer.

It reminds me of the "The American Tourist and Mexican Fisherman" http://www.noogenesis.com/pineapple/fisherman.html
