Facebook is one example where it was coded in undergrad, took off, and finally the founder switched to full time over the summer.



I suppose coming up with something as successful as Facebook would be a nice problem to have, but isn't Facebook's origin a little questionable? Zuckerberg's partners were obviously unable to protect their idea but if kynikos is already working for an internet company there's a potential problem pursuing an area they could be interested in.
