I've never worked for a VC firm and wouldn't unless I had no other options. I don't like the business model, I don't like the pressure to grow ad-infinitum, I don't like the prospect of investors who don't understand the business they are in dictating the product. I strictly work for privately owned companies. They're not always perfect but the sensible-to-utter-nonsense ratio from leadership is FAR, FAR better.

> I've never worked for a VC firm I don't think it actually matters (?) All practitioners, in VC funded company or not, benefit from frothy demand for programmers, even if a lot of that demand is driven by "dumb" money. I mean, compare to the years after .com crash, or the current lean years. I don't know, I think we should prefer the fat years?
