I agree with this. I see most of the people here doing what everyone else is doing. Using RoR and AWS because it's 'cool', using all kind of bullshit names to indicate non-existing bullshit jobs, applying practices because everyone else is using them... There's nothing wrong with using a normal programming language that has debug tools (such as C#) and there is nothing wrong with building something that has nothing to do with social media, but something that's actually useful. Yet some people think that they can become rich by doing what everyone else is doing... Doesn't work like that.

Too bad the author kind of participates in this as well with hipster terms like 'ex-rockstar', 'bootstrapping' and 'lean startup'.
