If 37s is the normal way to run a business, then no one should ever disparage marketing, open source contributions, or consulting as methods to start or bootstrap a business. 37s has ridiculously low customer acquisition costs (compared to competitors) because they
1) have 85K subscribers to their SvN blog
2) wrote a book that sold 75K copies
3) developed one of the most popular open source projects in the world
4) speak at conferences all the time
If you're just writing code, you'd better hope to get bought, because you'll never catch up to 37s as a business.
