Right on. I went through this same unproductive time and finally came to a similar understanding. Though I'd argue that instead of "irrational" I'd characterize it as "extremely risky". To many people in technology and business those are the same thing. Which leaves the rest of us to take on such irrational risks and occasionally succeed...
- jheitzeb 16y agoRight on! Good way to characterize it. If you are strafing from zero, the downside risk is low, relatively speaking....so might as well go for it. This is why (in my view) it is good to go for it when you're young and/or it is a bad economy,
