A software engineer that moves into management / entrepreneurship because he feels that youngsters make him obsolete, was probably not a very good engineer, and will probably not be a very good manager or entrepeneur. But good luck.

As the author of this article, but without trying to sound too self promotional, I disagree. I was the only Android engineer on an app that is currently featured on the front page of http://market.android.com Entrepreneurship is awesome. I have self generating, passive income from my personal Android apps and I respond to most customers emails personally. As far as my skills on SoundTracking: I already had 2 years of…

Then I will posit that:

- You became an entrepeneur because you want. - You don't believe that your programming skills are obsolete.

And thus your article doesn't really talk about your actual experience.

Correct. Not trying to toot my own horn, but after 10 years of getting better each year, I am solid programmer. I literally just finished working on SoundTracking.

However, I have focused solely on programming the last 10 years, and I believe my focus depleted from other skills that are highly necessary to balance someone out: product development, winning friends and influencing people, sales, marketing, physical builds, the arts and humanities, entrepreneurship and finally understanding and gettings your hands deep and dirty into real business experience:construction, food and restaurants, medecine, education, finance, fashion, etc, etc.

My intention is to help others not go down such a narrow path as I have.

Reading the Steve Jobs biography really lit a fire under me.
