Ah, but you elided one important entry from that list, didn't you?

3. You work for a company that employs 4000 developers who are not
you, but must interact with your code. Furthermore, you have many more
constraints placed on you.

So yes, having added that all-important clarification, I welcome any
reader who has made it this far in this thread to draw his own
conclusions. I will not re-state what mine are, as I think I've made
them clear several times.

Anyway, I shall not reply to this thread any more, but I look forward
to continuing this discussion next month, hopefully for the benefit of
a wider (or at least, different) audience than the TLUGgers who read
this deep. :)

No hard feelings, mate; at least on this end. I think you are a smart
guy who builds great software, and I certainly respect and envy you
for putting your money where your mouth is by starting your own
company, as I hope to do myself in a few years.

Mad props, and I'm out.
