I’m a huge fan of Paul Graham’s writing, but having just read The Single Founder Myth by Mike Taber, I find myself agreeing with Mike more than Paul.

Mike links to a Joel on Software post from 2000 called Ben and Jerry’s vs Amazon, which despite being over six years old, makes the choices faced in running a startup very clear.

I’m not sure I qualify as running a startup anymore, as Carsurvey.org is over 9 years old, but I run CSDO Media as a one man band, and I definitely prefer the organic “Ben and Jerry’s” method of growing a company.
