Surely this guy is joking.
"A joker is someone who does not complete something, and has excuses. Don't be a fucking joker."
and later
...Hannibal is his greatest hero, the guy who ALMOST conquered rome, but had a great excuse for not doing so.
and
"Now, here’s the score. I had a very fast, but totally possible timetable. At first, we were on it, and killing it. Then, one of us slipped. I don’t know who slipped first, it’s irrelevant. Now, we’re all slipping. "
Right, so the timetable doesn't include any latitude for delays.
and
"I can do marketing campaigns, but I need product and tech set up first. I mean, it’s not optional, it’s a core dependency. All of this shit was supposed to be done weeks ago."
Sounds like an excuse, sounds like he should stop being a joker and just GET IT DONE. No excuses.
This guy is deluded, lives in a separate version of reality where he has excuses but no one else can. Excuses can also be reasons why something is not going to work.
- vog 15y agoHe's joking for sure. Just have a look at the very first paragraph! (see also: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3246869 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3246869)
- gizmo 15y agoHe's definitely not joking. Deluded? Maybe. See his latest work of art (posted today): http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/an-open-letter-to-simon-and-schuester-ceo-carolyn-reidy http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/an-open-letter-to-simon-and... I'm at a complete loss for words.
