This whole section is just a bit off, I feel like cory's political agenda is bending the story. They would have stayed and worked with him but not for him, they tried... They weren't "treacherous" they were traitorous.
As for the whole non compete MA vs CA... well the boston area is loaded with all sorts of labs, doing all sorts of drug dev still. The non competes make more sense in that industry, where projects take years, and you dont want anything to slip out before your patent is filed. Bad for one kind of tech, good for another kind... it was a choice.
Cory used to be great, he was fresh and pithy. Hes got a Stalman like zelosy now, without the monotonic message.
- pineaux 3y agoYeah, thats logical. He sees things getting worse and sees he was too reasonable in the past. "Maybe if I am more zealous and less reasonable, I might be able to be part of a less-worse future." It's a biased way of seeing things, but very understandable.
