I enjoy meeting good developers. It is a bitter sweet experience most of the time. Firstly bitter simply because there are way too many good one out there and I am nowhere near their abilites. Sweet simply because a simple conversation with them allow myself to learn a bit more about how I can become a better developer.

Back to the topic, I had this view on good developers, and good developers who are out there doing startups.

The picture should be a better guide:

Developers into doing Startup

Of the pool of graduate yearly, a portion will be from the Engineering Faculty, or Maths. Of which another fraction will be doing computing or have experience in coding or software developement. And of this numbers, a group will be deemed good developers. And of these good developers, there is this crazy few who are willing to do a startup.

Of course, of the crazy few, not all can do a startup upon graduation. If the student graduate with a study loan debt, it is unlikely that he will be doing a startup which can hardly service the debt.

Likewise, many good developers are not attracted to doing startups simply because the banks and such pays better. Given the odds of finding a developer who is willing to do developement for a startup, it should be even harder to assemble a core team of such developers.

Good developers who are willing to run a startup are hard to come by. And for the few that I personally know and the others who are out there, I applaud  you all.
