Is it just me, or is there new life in the home-grown software business? When Microsoft and Co made it pretty hard for anyone to run a small software business in the 90s, the landscape wasn’t looking good. But now, with web apps and web-driven apps, there seems to be a new creativity out there, and a bunch of new small software developers.

I think the landscape has definitely changed for independent consultants. Many large entities, who would have previously only “trusted” the large consultancies or agencies, are now ready and even eager to work with independents, as long as you have the right references. That’s to say, with companies similar to theirs, at leastin size. That’s my view from over here in Europe, specifically France.
