I'm not sure how relevant this article is to HN; not that in the sense that it shouldn't have been posted, but it's focused squarely on human capital as it relates to Wall Street. A perfectly fine approach, and relevant for Yahoo Finance, but it doesn't have much to do with tech. I suspect that what speaks to those who were wooed directly into investment banks following college isn't the same impetus that drives 'rock star' developers. Or regular developers who love what they do.

- slpsys 17y agoLong after the point, but I explicitly stated, ".. not in that it shouldn't have been posted, .." The line 'having much to do with tech' was also referring to the human capital he was talking about, decidedly _not_ the article itself. I agree with the premise of the article, and agree that the signals being missed are germane to all entrepreneurs and businessmen, but I expressly meant that it isn't as if in the reshuffling of human capital we'd see another massive influx into the technology sector as in the first dot com bubble. That's what I was talking about, not suggesting HN turn into Digg. Apologies if the first line was misleading.
