- rdl 12y agoBen being a VC is a bad reason to give him credibility. His experience at loud cloud and ops ware (and then HP), and generally being smart, is why I find him interesting. If you read the book, there were only a few fairly badly communicated or stupid parts, and they made a lot more sense in context (it is partially biographical, so he includes mistakes and why they were mistakes). The "old people" is one of those which made more sense in context. It was a bad idea to let it be pulled out like this, imo.
