This place is an elitist microcosm of the networking hell that is silicon valley.
I come here because I'm part of the tech world. It's just that the tech world is a corrupt, greedy place--Y Combinator included.
- mikeurbanski 13y agoWell, how are you working to change that? We've made the decision to run our company like a free software project and have been actively ignoring buyout/funding offers since before we launched. We'll keep applying to YC, but, considering they didn't even read our last application, I'd say it's a fair bet that we'll get to keep running our company our way for the foreseeable future.

That said, I as a programmer do not work for a tech startup and have quit jobs I felt were complicit in greedy mania. Another way of looking at it--why is it my problem that the technology sector is dominated by greed?
