Kathy Sierra:

I’ve seen too many startups begin with the promise of freedom, passion, and good intentions–only to end up exchanging one kind of “prison” (working for demanding bosses) for another–working for overly demanding clients. I’ve seen some companies become slaves to the client’s whims because we had “too many eggs in one basket”, allowing clients to exploit the fact that you need THEM much more than they need YOU. And then there’s the company that’s looking to sell or go public, promising everyone that “if you just work really hard for the next three years, we’ll all make a ton of money.” (Assuming you lived through the process.)
