Talk: "When Programmers Start a Business"
After years of being frustrated with software project mismanagement, Shawn (with designer Justin Seiter) decided to put his money where his mouth was and began the company Big Name.

After 3 years, Big Name has come into its own. However, much turbulence had to be overcome in order to find stability.

This talk is about the lessons learned by a programmer and a designer as they sought to build a rational business in the web-application industry.
