"If you are 30 or older and thinking of starting a tech company, don’t do it."
Ahahahhhahahah...sorry but I love hearing this. It's something so many 20-somethings tell each other and is a complete myth. I love taking on kids in business, it's the guys my own age I need to watch out for.
- esmevane 15y agoThanks for this. I had the exact same thought when I read it. After a brief moment of offense. I think I could write an essay or several on the ridiculous misconceptions I hear going around in some circles, and this is one of my favorites. When you hit 30, have a kid, etc., the popular ideology in some circles seems to be that somehow your ability to spend time working on your passion is gone. It's been my experience that this bracket is, on the other hand, more efficient, selective in their projects, determined, and shows a remarkable intolerance for wasted time. It's extra amusing to me, also, that the major culprits of these stereotypes are older men who routinely tell this to the young as they break into the industry. I wonder if it's a deliberate attempt to light a fire under these young folks?
