Most developers, myself included, don't have the skills to run their own company. We're as out of place in the business world as Donald Trump would be with a C++ compiler.

Worse, those developers who do have the skills to run their own company, if they do so, will eventually be viewed by those working for them just as they used to view their bosses. Or they'll just go bankrupt. There's a reason it's the same thing everywhere you go, and that's because that's what works in the business world.

While I agree that's what currently goes on. I disagree that that is how "things will always be" many developers are afraid of doing what is necessary. It's a matter of courage, risk taking, etc. Not listening to the party line or status quo. Women got the vote, the slaves got their freedom, so it's a matter of commitment and persistence to change, self-development and hard work.

The hard part of course is finding such people of which I admit is a difficult task.
