I agree with the thesis of this article, but I think it is needlessly harsh and confrontational. "You don't get it", ok, maybe he doesn't but is he a 30 year old who should get it by now, or is he a whiz bang 16 year old whose hitting way above his handicap? I don't know, but how... personal... a response should be should depend on how obnoxious the other party is being. Yeah, his article was total HN link bait, but it isn't even in the bottom %25 of articles I don't like on HN. I think your article would have been stronger if you'd provided some clear elevator statements that fit your mold for other companies, or even your own. I have trouble finding good examples myself as we work on ours. I troll angel list for hours seeing crap. "We're TWA for food!"
