He's the embodiment of the banality of evil. Just can't avoid being cliché.

Had to google his name. Welcome to the Egghead's lair, Mr. Bond.

  And to think him and Faye Wong are virtually the same age. She, a beautiful actress singer-songwriter, and him, a rather bulbous egg-headed villain. Are we SURE what you do doesn't influence how radiant you appear to others?

I have you now, Mr. Bond. But instead of quickly disposing of you, I shall spend a 20 minute monologue on How We Must Build Things while you inexorably escape

I enjoy telling recruiters I won’t work for companies funded by obvious sociopaths.

  How exactly has he greatly improved the world? Being the first loser of the browser wars?

  Stock options are wage theft for the vast majority of employees taking it, it's gambling and the vast majority of bets don't pay off. It is genius, convincing people to work for less or free.

    Except employees aren’t working for free. They’re working for normal salaries, plus stock. What Jim pioneered (and Marc built on) was the idea that founding engineers might end up insanely rich, and because Marc is an investor he can push this ideology to all of the companies that take investment from him

      Employee salaries aren’t keeping “normal” pace

  Keep on lickin' that boot, Boot. Maybe if you swallow the entire thing, he'll look your way!

    This is a tech form centered around startups, run by a private equity firm (YC). Marc and Jim Clark were and are visionaries, who have not only been financially successful but Jim's thesis which Marc continued was that engineers were underpaid, and by paying them more you can create a better product. It's because of these people that a generic android app developer at ChatGPT makes ~400k/year + stock. I don't know what you think your comment adds to the conversation but I assure you it's not insightful, and if you dislike venture capitalists this is a bad place for you to spend your time.

      Then let the Banhammer of the Sanctus Capitalista strike this parrhesiastes down! Lighten up, man. These people don't care about you, and I assure you they're not reading your comments waiting to hire you. Why should I care about them when they are doing everything in their power to make this world a worse place?
