It’s kind of like the person who buys a house. Buying it with no debt is not a bad way to stay pretty financially secure. Buying it with debt can be terrible if you’re piling on other debt. But once you have a really good amount of capital, debt can become a very powerful tool to become very wealthy.

I think the analogy can work in software development.

Though if were honest for every savvy investor using debt wisely, there is the one blowing his paycheck up his nose, while driving a fancy car that will be repossessed tomorrow from his house that is way bigger than he needs.

Probably works for software development too.
