- unity1001 4y ago> IPO then retire and do something else. Yeah, do what, exactly... Dawdle around dabbling in random stuff, only to eventually get bored and return to tech for making an impact on something and changing the world...

Most people only work so they can support those things in their off hours. There's a thousand things I could occupy a happy lifetime with if I didn't have to work.

- gumboza 4y agoAbout 1% of tech employment changes the world. Most of it doesn’t. Some of it actively makes it worse. Most of it actively makes it worse. I live for the bits between doing the tech.
- scarface74 4y agoYes because if you’re so smart , you should be able to pick the one out of 10 startups that don’t outright fail - something that VCs can’t do - and then join the company early enough to get decent equity (where you statistically have even less of a chance of choosing the right horse) and then choose the company out of the ones that don’t outright fail that have an outsized exit event.
