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
