I'd leave also if the company's definition of "investing" is limited to some combination of polishing, enhancing, or repackaging the same milk money projects repeatedly. Its almost as dangerous as just sticking to the milk money projects (unless your company is a government contractor).

So engineers (coders) at IBM, Microsoft, Apple, HP, Dell, Wal-Mart, etc. should give up their "dangerous" jobs and seek out startups?

Oh, come on, are you serious?

IBM - one of the biggest R&D IT companies in the history of computing.

Microsoft - invented Windows, the XBox, Visual Studio, Silverlight, C#, the list is endless.

Apple - inventing radically new consumer products every other year.

Those examples are not what he was talking about at all.

If you think my examples are not valid then provide some you think are representative of what he was talking about.
