Sorry if this has already been posted and discussed. But this article has been doing the rounds of the IGDAM group.

It seems that there are skilled geniuses that can still make it as indies these days.
“A common mistake young developers make, explains Hall, is looking to their friends, or the local development community and using that as their personal benchmark.”

Weirdly written article though…
