I implore the dissatisfied and frustrated people on HN (regarding layoffs and general direction of the industry) to start your own companies.

1 of 3 things will happen:

- The world will be populated with enlightened companies structured in pro-worker models that are wonderful for everyone involved

- You will realize that running a business is extremely hard and a bunch of antagonistic employees are unhelpful

- You will balance option 1 and 2 in some better fashion that moves the needle closer to your idealized vision

Isn't that better than just hating your life, punching a card, and waiting for the axe to fall on your head?
