Tell that to someone who has rent and loans to pay, medical needs or family to feed. Bootstrapping takes savings/investment and a LOT of time before you see a penny of profit.

I am totally empathetic to this. I did not intend for it to be a trite statement. I'm in the same boat.

Not all ventures require lots of savings. (Time? Definitely). It is conceivably possible to try and bootstrap something outside of working hours.

The original author was able to devote much time to GitHub projects, so it's not a stretch that the author might be able to bootstrap an idea.
