Hey Geshan,

interesting article, i have a dilemma maybe you could have a interesting opinion.

I'm on highschool and I co-founded a company for VR / AR virtualizations. I'm young and "unexperienced" and there won't be any senior positions in my company any time soon + we're small. Is it good idea to work "on your self" and get the experience the hard way or to berry the business hatchet and go to some proper company? I like this opportunity of having my own firm and trying to do something with it, but my older coworkers are far from senior positions.

Anyways.. good points about the open source, i really got me thinking and i'm shocked why this article isn't more viewed.

Hello Christoper,

If you already have your own company and it is sustainable (makes a profit) then that may be the best to stick to. Small or big is a different question if it pays you good enough, having your own company is better IMHO.

If you are looking for "a proper" company, by that I understand large transactions systems (may not be large scale or millions of lines of code). It is a trade off and depends on your priorities and where you see yourself in future like 3-5 years from now. Hope I could answer your query.
