Actually it is a neutral topic for me. I know there have to be both types of companies, and no one is more aware than I am that startups aren't for everyone, because every 6 months I have to pick, from a huge pool, the people I think are suited for it, and it's painful for all involved when I pick wrong.
If you're going to be so nasty, you should be sure first you're right. Though frankly, if you're right, you don't need to be nasty.
- tptacek 16y agoYou just reframed the debate in the light most favorable to your argument. The issue isn't whether there should be lifestyle companies or not. The issue is, for a hacker equally capable of and equally armed by circumstances to starting either a "lifestyle" business or a shoot-the-moon startup, is there a "right" choice?
