Drivel. The whole purpose of this is for Jakob Reiter, whoever that is, to highlight what a great leader he is. It's all about upward mobility, and having a showpiece like this is all part of the act. I don't know Jakob, but I know from reading this he is probably untrustworthy and will do whatever is necessary to succeed. These types have evolved over the years... in the 80s, they were sharp and cutthroat. Afterall, that's what was in vogue. Now they've adapted to today's cultural zietgeist, making sure that everyone knows how forward-thinking they are, how hip they are to inclusivity, yadda-yadda.. It's just a game that these inauthentic types are very good at playing. Well, we all share the same dirt in the end, my friend.

- meepmorp 5y ago> I hope that you find happiness, segaboy81. This is some passive aggressive bullshit, fam.
- riskycodes 5y agoI mean it. Criticising the content of article is fine. However, making mean and baseless pop-psych ad hominem assumptions about someone you've never met? That's unnecessary. I hope that segaboy81 finds a balance in their life where they don't feel the need to do that.
- dominotw 5y ago> baseless pop-psych ad hominem assumptions about someone you've never met? > I hope that segaboy81 finds a balance in their life i guess its ok for you to make 'ad hominem assumptions' about segaboy81 that he is 'unbalanced in life' (whatever that means). I hope that you find happiness, riskycodes.
- riskycodes 5y agoThanks, I hope I do too. The last two years have been tough for a lot of people, but I’m a work in progress. I hope you find happiness, dominotw.
- riskycodes 5y agoYup, I’ll take the L here. I guess I did do that. I thought it was different because I wasn’t really making assumptions about segaboy81’s character, but I can see how it’s similar enough. Thanks.
- meepmorp 5y agoNow I feel like I missed a joke or something.
- ThrowForASocio 5y agoThe only positions Jakob has held have been intern positions. Did you work with him at LinkedIn or Hulu?
- riskycodes 5y agoI think you have the wrong person. The big giveaway is that this is posted on TheVentury.com and he references being CTO of TheVentury.
- MarcelOlsz 5y agoReminds me of the soylent founders blog where it was something about buying cheap clothing from Taiwan that he only wears once a day, powers everything with some balcony solar panel, etc. Wish I could find it again.

- MarcelOlsz 5y ago"The walls are buzzing" haha yes! Thank you. I thought I lost this article forever.
- Wavelets 5y agoGreat summary. This article was probably put together by HR/Comms. So much of this crap on LinkedIn. “#leadership”.
- nmca 5y agoThis is satire, no?
- tonyjstark 5y agoPretty much what I was thinking. This post is as deep as a bunch of motivational quotes on Insta, one platitude after another.
- tedmiston 5y agoIt's a 43-person company and the author is already a Partner — what kind of upward mobility would he need or be after in the first place? IMO the main issue is the HN title having been edited to Profound CTO Learnings of 2021 while the actual post is titled Leadership Learnings of 2021. Two misused terms I don't think HN takes lightly are profound and CTO.
