A lot of startups are incredibly marginal, and a lot of the smartest, most determined people start those companies. There are so many brilliant people building payroll software and HR data normalization companies. Yes, they have lucrative markets, but are they really what our best and brightest should be working on? And with regards to staffing, these companies do recruit smart CS kids from MIT, Stanford, etc. so there is a misallocation of talent that exists.
- paulcole 4y agoYou're doing the same thing as the article writer. Just assuming that these people are "our best and brightest." What is there to tell us that other than they're getting paid a lot of money and they went to a prestigious school? It's a nice story to tell but that's all it is IMO.
