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.

Memoirs of the almost a year I lasted at Google. The name of that year? 2008. Yeah. Topics include: Third World, precariat, tech elitism, queerness, surveillance, capitalism.

Y'all encouraged me to submit this as a full post, and I clearly overcommited to this blog so I hope TechTakes fits for it lol

Looks like HN found it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44200773

Holy shit the sheer amount of them saying they were confused by how you wrote your article has me rolling. These paragons of intelligence failing at basic reading comprehension.

Hopefully you find their jabbering about it as funny as I did.

"Funny" is one way to put it.

At least the lone crypto bro is getting appropriately roasted. They're capable of learning.
