I built and ran my own software business for 15 years. For me it was the satisfaction of having built something from the ground up that could run on without me. The business was self sustaining and had a life of its own. That's cool.

Larry Miner is now a member of Business of Software
the business side of the software development life cycle. In 1985 I started a software development firm and successfully sold the company in 2000. I started with 1 person, me, and finished up with 30 developers.
