Do agree with the part that its hard to even find time for scratching head, but who needs to scratch head anyway when you have got much better things to do.

We have some wonderful valleys and scenery in Wales, not that you would probably get out much in a start-up, but the only thing letting us down would be the relatively slow internet speed. Otherwise sign me up!

Despite the hard work involved (and which job doesn’t entail hard work if you are doing it for the right reasons) the rewards (not necessarily financial) are great, I think above all it means being a valued person within a business as opposed to just a number.

It seems in the US, start-ups are the most exciting thing since pre-sliced bread. Everyone wants to work in a start-up in America, they get the Angel Investors all excited, they seem to offer the best salaries and brilliant perks… I suppose it is part of the entrepreneurial aspect of the American Dream. In the UK, however, there just isn’t that excitement – a start-up is seen as a risk. They don’t get the same funding, and often can’t match salaries: I recently spoke to an exciting start-up in London looking for a Lead PHP Developer, paying max £40K. In London, that’s 3 or 4 years experience, midweight level salary. A competitive salary would be £65K.

Maybe what we need is more of a buzz around the concept of a start-up. The Silicon Roundabout project in London was a good idea, but it isn’t enough. Until we have something the equivalent of Silicon Valley (and personally I would recommend locating it outside London, somewhere like Cambridge or, perhaps, Bletchley Park, the home of computing), we aren’t going to see an improvement. Kids in the US want to study Computer Science at uni so they can go and work for Facebook, or Google, or a cool new start-up. What is there in the UK to get kids excited about hacking?
