Is it me or have there been at least three relatively fact-free, anecdote-based articles recently (2 WSJ, 1 NYT IIRC) talking about the angel/startup bubble and generally trying to spread FUD about silicon valley? Where is this coming from?
- ilamont 15y agoPart of it is pattern-matching. Lots of people getting excited about startups reminds journalists and VCs of the late 1990s, therefore it's a bubble. I think people/organizations that have something to lose are also more likely to criticize. Levchin complains about "too much competition for talent" -- it would be a lot easier and cheaper if developers worked for him instead of striking out on their own.
