I make apps for the App Store, and instead of a startup founder I feel more like an Apple employee, with Apple commanding me around with what I should and cannot do.
Yeah, being just ramen-profitable isn't everything. I'm past that stage though, but in retrospect would have made an order of magnitude more money by being a regular employee in IT compared to trying to make a fortune in the App Store. I hope to reach a break-even point sometime in my lifetime, but I'm not entirely optimistic about it.
