The Cost of Developers
Great analysis, although I don&#x27;t completely agree with this statement: <i>&quot;GitHub, a company that, having raised $350 million in venture capital, was not going to make it as an independent entity.&quot;</i><p>If it is referring to the fact that, in the crazy VC spiral of the startups world, once you have received such a big investment, a sale to a big corp is the only choice, then I sadly agree. But GitHub could have been an independent entity with a sustainable business, if they had not fallen into VC&#x27;s startups trap. I have to agree with DHH here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dhh&#x2F;status&#x2F;1003611913924894720" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dhh&#x2F;status&#x2F;1003611913924894720</a>. We need more independent software companies instead of only having 5 big players.
