What keeps you from beginning your Start Up?
briancooley: Let's not forget the other things that corporate life provides that Start Ups simply can't compete against: we've got cash which means all your standard developer care and feeding: snacks, beverages, free lunches. With cash comes profit sharing, job security, benefits, paid vacations, etc.These are the kinds of things that "concerned" family and friends will point out.  They're nice things, but I think the arguments about their value just amount to FUD to a person longing to make a move.  They are reasons not to leave, not reasons to stay.
