My takeaway: Not every startup founder needs to write blog articles and post them to HN.
Even strictly on the technical side that's usually true because there are so many unique aspects to every code base.
I choose to disagree, and thank Rahul for sharing real life experience, and hope that he and others continue to do so.
Anyone who has the balls to quit and start from nothing I assume has at least one interesting thing I can learn from their journey (not to exclude women with the colloquialism).
It's just that given the title (i.e. corp->startup) I expected something different from all the other, similar articles.
What's the point of joining a startup then?
You'd be surprised. Enterprise might mean tons of legacy visual basic apps, or crappy add-ons to some proprierary platform, not "much bigger projects". Just because you e.g. work for a branch of Unilever somewhere, it doesn't mean you work on their payroll system or anything close to it.
