What seems be lacking is the acknowledgment of a middle ground. It seems that, as portrayed lately at least, the startup mentality has spiraled into all-or-nothing lotto think. Reality TV and social media seems to give everyone the idea that anyone cares about their latest "pivot." It's encouraging to see the genius of many of the hobby projects here, but when engineers start behaving like actors fresh off the bus from Ohio in Hollywood looking for and expecting their "big break" it's just sad.
