That reminds of this blog post by Jamie Zawinski[1]:
"What is true is that for a VC's business model to work, it's necessary for you to give up your life in order for him to become richer.
Follow the fucking money. When a VC tells you what's good for you, check your wallet, then count your fingers.
He's telling you the story of, "If you bust your ass and don't sleep, you'll get rich" because the only way that people in his line of work get richer is if young, poorly-socialized, naive geniuses believe that story! Without those coat-tails to ride, VCs might have to work for a living. Once that kid burns out, they'll just slot a new one in."

- canadianwriter 8y agoThe url is cut off in the web view of HN so I can't even copy and paste it.... nice.
- gowld 8y agoContext-click to get the URL. If you can click it, you can copy it.
- CaptSpify 8y agoalternatively: don't send them the referrer
- auto 8y agoThere's a pretty unfortunate redirect happening with your link. If you don't want to see a testicle, I wouldn't click it.
- bachmeier 8y agoUnfortunately, no way to edit the link. Guess he doesn't like HN.
