VC funded companies aren't some tech billionaire funding a cool new project.
VC funded companies are investments that they want a return on. It shouldn't be surprising when people try very hard to protect that investment to help them get a better return.

Yeah, but if the investment is threatened by a weekend project built in a few days, it means that a serious competitor could destroy it in a couple weeks. The thought that came to mind about this was a baker stepping on ants outside his store because nobody was coming into the store. If nobody wants to come into the store because of ants crawling in front, your store has larger issues.

- throwaway744678 5y agoIt sits next to the midpoint between "hard" and "very, very hard"
- shkkmo 5y agoIt's a midpoint only on a logarithmic scale.
