Surprisingly shallow article that focuses on the ageism amongst startup founders. What I wanna know is how difficult it is for that 50+ veteran with 25+ years

  >focuses on the ageism amongst startup founders. Shallow, perhaps. But the article isn't even about ageism; it's about vanity in the tech world. And it says as much in the title. The best part: "Neumann would be Odin, striding around with his retinue. He does look rather like a Viking." Neumann is 6'5, skinny and "nerdy". Is that what the stereotypical viking looks like nowadays? The idea that being above average height makes you some physical specimen is absurd.

    lol, I didn't know what Neumann and his wife looked like, before I read this article. I looked them up, expecting them to look like actors from Vikings or LotR, but they looked rather average to me. But I also couldn't understand the hype about the Snap CEO, who looked to me like an average nerd put in some fancy suite to me.
