> They hired a teenager to run one of their departments Except they didn’t. The person in question was 28 when they hired him. He was a teenager when he cofounded the company that was acquired for thirty billion dollars. But the taste of those really sour grapes must be hard to deal with.

  > But the taste of those really sour grapes must be hard to deal with Please don't sneer at fellow community members on HN, and don't reply to a bad comment with a worse one; it just makes HN seem like a more mean and miserable place. The comment would have been fine without that last sentence.

    Content is more important to me than tone. Much of this subthread is nothing more than gossip about someone people are apparently jealous of. Talk about a "mean and miserable place." Techbros upset that they didn't cash out as big.
