- eropple 11y agoYou sure about that? How many startups feed their customers a line of bullshit around, say, uptime or data security? The answer, in my experience, is "bunches". Which is emphatically not to excuse them, I wish pretty much every kind of ill on that sort of company, but I think that's just "part of the process" for plenty of morals-optional people in startupville.
- chasing 11y ago"Which is emphatically not to excuse them..." Then don't excuse them. And try to avoid "morals-optional people" -- not just in business, but in life in general.
- eropple 11y agoI'm not excusing them. Nor am I claiming any association with that sort of startup or the people who run them. I am noting that they exist, and that that is what "startup land" is. Descriptive, not prescriptive. But thank you very much for putting words in my mouth.
- chasing 11y agoSorry about putting words in your mouth. You're absolutely right -- liars and fraudsters exist in start-up land. They should be avoided.
