I've got my eye out on a couple of local startups that are looking for Ruby on Rails developers (student positions too! score). Hacking at legacy PHP4 just kind of.. sucks.

I hopped around quite a bit and I saw that small companies in general bounce back much quicker than you would expect after someone leaves. What would happen to Apple if Steve Jobs died today? When Jobs got his surgery a while back, the stock price fell instantly as soon as the news got out. On the other hand, if anything happens to Bill Gates right now, MS will be just fine.

That being said, the company would probably be ok long-term because they still have to move forward w/getting someone to take the role over. After all, PayPal didn't collapse after I left...hahaha (I guess we weren't a startup anymore).
