>In the information age, the barriers [to entry into programming] just aren't there. The barriers are self imposed. If you want to set off and go develop some grand new thing, you don't need millions of dollars of capitalization.

You were to autistic to attract a fuckable goat, let alone a human being. Get off of your high horse John, noone buys into your shilling.

Or those two-to-four-guy successful kickstarters

This is the least of your worries, honestly. That may apply in certain scenarios, like consumer software, but the majority of business software requires industry expertise, relationships, a dedicated sales, support, and services teams, and a way to prove that your company will be around for at least several years, which takes a lot of money and knowledge.
