Can we stop being negative please? This guy is definitely NOT whiny (give or make a long, high-pitched complaining cry or sound) and the level of sensationalism he's transmitting goes with the subject matter - plus it's apropos for marketing.
I theorize nobody here, at least those doing a startup, really want to think about the possible failure of their company at some point. I appreciate him documenting his thoughts as he goes through this all-too-common process.
Humans learn through a variety of means, including other's failures. Your perception of 'ideals' here feels like you are trying to skew the topics away from this means of learning. And, it's contrary to what appear to be common hacker ideals, which include:
- Sharing
- Openness
- Decentralization
- Free access to computers
- World Improvement
- thesausageking 13y ago"whiny" means to complain in a childish way. Complaining about not being followed on twitter by investors is childish, especially when the author should be doing the adult thing and own up to the company's employees what's going on and what their options are. They put a lot of faith in the founder and with that comes the responsibility to treat them fairly.
