- glanch 13y agoJust read the first link there about Jerry Shen, a 1-man startup in the fantasy sports industry. Seems like he was (is?) living the dream, based on his post on that thread, but I just googled him and was surprised to see he took a job at Yahoo Sports this month. I wonder what they offered him to make it worth his while to give up so much freedom.
- clarky07 13y ago@glanch you appear to be hellbanned, not sure why. I don't know what the offer was, but it wasn't just "job offer," they bought his business and are integrating it into their fantasy sports apps.
