How to Test Drive Your Business Idea Before Quitting Your Job
What this article suggests is just one way of starting a startup. It won't work for everyone because for some of us, other's people's problems are only worth solving if the problem also troubles me or the solution somehow deeply interests me.<p>After all, for some the point of starting a startup is not only about business and money, as a software developer I want to build an application I love, and see it appreciated by others by making it a product and profitable business.<p>If you have read Paul Graham's essay, you'd know there's another way, the so called "organic ideas", i.e., to build a product that you love and useful to yourself, then sell it to others who have similar needs. To me this is a better way (albeit riskier), in the end of the day if I fail, I still would have a lot of fun and learnt useful skills, rather than just failed to fill a market gap.
