This line is distasteful and detracts from the rest of what you wrote.
- Edmond 6y agoseems like dry humor :)

- rhizome 6y agoWhat is the joke?
- Edmond 6y agoIf one has to explain a joke then either they're bad at it, it's a bad joke or they have the wrong audience....I'll leave the conclusion as to which is it to the readers :) The article is about making money (even from the title)..the commented upon line is insinuating that if you think the article isn't for you (ie you just randomly stumbled upon it), then you obviously are not interested in making money...sarcasm :)
- jshen 6y agoHis language is really sloppy and amateur throughout. He also has this bad line, “Everything about a startup is sales”. No it’s not, unless you’re selling snake oil.
- quest88 6y agoSounds like you're not interested in making money.
- jshen 6y agoI’m interested in adding value and helping make progress in the world, money is secondary, but I have plenty of money.
- sah55 6y agoit's really easy to not care about money when you already have it.
- jshen 6y agoOh for sure, I grew up poor and am now on the other side. But that’s not what the author is talking about. He’s condescending to people that are making $250k/year for ”leaving millions” on the table. At $250k/year you don’t have to care about money a whole lot, and you can make that being a developer.
- skrebbel 6y agoYou missed the sarcasm, GP was agreeing with you by means of a joke.
- dpoochieni 6y agoIt's ok, no one forced you to read it I hope.
- tinus_hn 6y agoSounds like hyper aggressive salespeople being parodied in a movie. But then again I know some people talk like that in real life.
