When I joined the startup scene 3 years ago, I mostly saw success stories. Now that I've been through my own failed startup, I see many failure stories. I believe that two things have changed: 1. The field is maturing, so more people are talking about failures, the downsides of entrepreneurship, etc. 2. I'm growing as a business person, so I'm reading a larger variety of things, not just stories that reinforce my beliefs. So it's possible that, like me, you're so focused on reading positive startup-reinforcing articles, that you're missing out on some of the articles which focus more on the failures and things to avoid. Oh, and definitely read pg's articles - they have a lot of truth in them, compiled from one smart person who's seen many startups both fail and succeed, and who is specifically looking for the reasons and patterns behind it all.
