Wait, it was 2012 and the venture capitalists were /just then/ figuring out it would be a good idea to be close to the "best computer science school in the world"?
Not that I had any respect for VC's before, but my opinion just dropped even more.

Yes it's called currency devaluation combined with ZIRP.
I do wonder if they'll write such a flowery article when entrepreneurs discover that their odds of success actually go UP if they pass on VC altogether.
