The company I worked for in 2000 got hooked up with Enron and the VP of Engineering, a man of middling talent, became obsessed with taking this windfall from Enron and making his mark in the world. He began dreaming of all kinds of big projects with the cash, except he didn't involve me or some of the engineers because he knew we would shoot down his ideas. He wanted to be a big player in Web1. He grabbed some mediocre engineers who he could bedazzle to implement his big designs. I got bored with nothing to do and quit. Right after I left it all came crashing down. Web2 rose from the ashes and it was good. I'm feeling the same vibes now, so I'll wait for Web4.
