Didn't pg just say that being in a startup is like being repeatedly punched in the face, but being in a big company is like being waterboarded?

- ivankirigin 17y agoI think that was in the context of leaving a big company to start a startup. Joining a big company after your startup is acquired is a bit different dynamic. Maybe it can be likened to opium. I've never tried opium, nor sold a company. But it must feel good, with obviously bad and brewing side effects.
