> Hard work and sacrifice => Lied/cheated/stole to get where they are

I wouldn't be so cynic. I think real life is simply not good news material.

"Tonight, the groundbreaking story of the developer who worked for 3 years on banking software, 4 years on insurance databases and a staggering 2 years on android apps! He's now ready to start his own company... or is he? Sitting on a chair and typing code has never been so exciting!"

Certainly some people do succeed through hard work alone, but corruption absolutely plays a large part at the top end of the spectrum. Youtube was mostly pirated content before they were bought, Zuckerburg stole the idea for FB and cheated his partner, Uber guys have done every dirty trick in the book...

I have alot of idea's, but as a full-time developer, it's hard to get a team to trust and spread the word about them. Knowing there's a millionplus people ready to copy paste and invest a few dollars or a million or more. The funds i dont have.

So yes, i feel like im missing out, but more like not having a chance to miss out.
