I actually like the ActiveRecord convention more than destructive-to-receiver -- it was even adopted by the elixir community (which makes even more sense than ruby, as there really aren't destructive updates in elixir).

Almost all companies doing post-series-B are losing money at the time they finalize the round. While only some of the deals are explicitly structured as debt or debt-like (although, more and more, it seems), they are all pretty similar on a

And yet companies losing barrels of money get their "I'm even more in debt now" VC posts upvoted as news. The current situation creates an asymmetry, and that distorts how people think business is done, which in turn distorts

If you're being paid $900k/year, why would it matter if you could sell your $500MM asset? I mean, I lead a simple life, so _I_ wouldn't care. But some people _do_ want that, and I see the appeal.

If I own a huge amount of a successful company, getting that asset liquid makes a lot of sense. Aside from being to sell at any time, being public means more bidders = probably a better price. I don't see it as a progression so much as

This is a very peculiar tone to use in describing a detail-oriented fact-based discussion. I didn't know _anything_, if the other comments didn't help contextualize this I'd not get much value from the story at all.

To be fair, the audience for that comment isn't aware of _any_ EPA regulations and has no curiosity about it. They see the EPA not as a complex organization with multiple goals and many tools to help them achieve those goals, but as a
