Given the demographic here on HN, we probably all dream of being in this situation. But I honestly have no idea how I'd react. I'd probably take the money and run, too.
I worry about these things sometimes. I have a few subcontractors working part time for me. I'd prefer to make them employees, have our own office together. But I also wonder how that would change our rapport.
I started out on my own specifically because I was dissatisfied with the way business was operated at all the places I had been before. But when reading stuff like this, or about O'Rielly Press, or Valve, it makes me wonder if it's possible to maintain ones ideals. The me that exists right now would hate to be the person that was the cause in another person of the same sort of anti-jumbo-corp feelings I harbor.
