There is an article entitled "The New [Tech] Boom" by Chris Anderson in a recent print edition (14.02) of Wired, which suggests that the current Tech Boom is not a bubble.
In this article, the author, also Wired's editor in chief, further says: "...you can start a company today for a tiny fraction of what people spent five years ago. Joe Kraus, cofounder of Excite, estimates that his new company, JotSpot, will make it to first revenues with a total investment of about $100,000 - less than 5 percent of what Excite burned through a decade earlier. Today companies are starting small and lean and staying that way..." If you were to start a company, legal costs, time spent making legal arrangements, time invested in market research, planning a market strategy, and so on is moderately expensive in $ terms, and is also time that could have been spent putting in billable hours. Its not for everyone, but if you trust in your own ability as a programmer to build any imaginable system, why not spend some time imagining a system you could operate as a profitable business?
