Hard to put into words how reassuring it is to see so many sane, grounded and critical reactions (both here and on hackernoon) instead of gullible hackneyed accolades that the author's tone implicitly demands. I feel like thanking everyone for calling him out, but this is a bit tasteless. I wonder, though, if Sam himself believes his narrative. Startup CEOs tend to be borderline delusional in their optimism, one could even argue this is a job requirement. Still. Is there a subtler interpretation, such as this being a smart cover-up for personal irresponsible enrichment, or does he really think they did their best?
