As far as bootstrapped startups go I can say one thing -> they suck.

When you're in that spot where you don't really know which bill to pay this month and which can probably wait a little while longer, all the while you're asking the bank to extend the limit on your bank account and trying to look all "Yeah hey, I sure as fuck am making enough money to pay for this! Yeah!" ...

... it's not a fun place to be.

But on the other hand, it's a whole lot more fun than when I had a somewhat cushy job as a webdev doing repetitive mindnumbingly horrible things for an advertising agency.
