Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

a friend linked this to me earlier today: nitter (someone else maybe archive it? I don't know what tusky has done to birdsite and how to make wayback play nice)

in one lens/view one could see this as just more of the same (if people were already gunning for YC track shit, there's other things already implied etc), but even so: just how bad is(/must) the "belief" (be) for young people to feel this intensely about it?

I'm over here just watching the arc of likely events and I can barely fathom the anger and disappointment that may[0] come about in a few years after this

[0] - "may" because it seems a lot of folks have their anger redirected far too easily; remains to be seen if it can remain correctly directed in future

I think you've nailed it.

Found a startup, get paid C-level salaries for a few years, exit or not, repeat.

I’ve usually dealt with the less successful version, whose startups either crash and burn or end up buying them out for a very low price. after a few iterations of that, they’re ready to downgrade to a senior engineering position! if only they could find an interviewer who doesn’t see through their bullshit
