Without knowing anything about the author, i would guess she is young.
My reaction after reading:Duh.
Perhaps it's living for decades but stating my opinion I do less and less, especially in person. I think its a product of listening better, getting wiser and not needing to be validated or heard. Only a small handful (one hand) of people I care hear things I have to say. I am totally different than when I was 20's & 30's
It's not that "true things arent being said" it's that I am smarter to simply not say them.
- oskarth 10y agoYou don't seem to realize the immense amount of knowledge Jessica Livingston has about startups that no one else knows about. That information is obviously hugely valuable for other people, and she'd probably like to share it if she felt it was worth it.
- losteverything 10y agoIn my day I would ask for an "informational interview" side by side. Worse thing is she would say "no" But I would not leave her office and tell anyone about what she said. That would be breaking her trust. If she wanted to tell others she would. Thanks for the "who is the author" explains its "front pageness"
- rhaps0dy 10y agoThe point is that she can't post it to the Internet, where anyone could read it without using up her time.
- piker 10y agoNot that it's particularly relevant, but the author is Jessica Livingston, a founding partner of YC and spouse of Paul Graham. She's 46.
