Your thinking is clearly very black and white, also highly entitled - quite common with engineers. There is no doubt that a product would not exist without the people to build it but an organization would not exist without the people to organize it. Many roles in the company are invaluable. Not just the engineer. It sounds like you've had a bad experience and I'm sorry if you have, but not all companies are "pointy haired bosses that take advantage of the underlings". > Also, what risk? You clearly have no idea. > There has never in history of history been easier access to money than now, and never better terms. You still have no idea. I'm not even going to try. > Hell, tell a stranger in palo alto you're an MIT dropout, and have a Stanford dropout friend, and they will practically write you a blank check. This is a pretty offensive statement and you've lost me entirely, your perspective is so far detached from reality that it makes a lot of sense why you're so upset, sarcastic, and frustrated. Instead of a self-righteous attitude, go build your own startup if it really is that easy and low risk. If you have built your own startup and received a blank check and performed the feat [of building a startup] with no risk to yourself or your peers then I call bullshit or you're just internet trolling.
