Come on man. This stuff is hard. I was the guy on the other side writing these BS hit pieces. Then I raised funding and took a shot. It's so hard. It's like pushing a boulder up a mountain except you're expected to build a rocket ship on the way and blast off. It's not the analogy of falling off a cliff and building the rocket on the way down. Sure death is on the horizon and you can manage it, but the pressures are immense and so much of it you can't game. Initial hype is intoxicating and you might even have something of value but real business takes time. It's a boulder up a hill and you need to bring a lot of good people along the way to help you. OpenAI was 7 years of nothing working then boom. I hit 7 years and fatigue set in, but also life, I wasn't that same guy who started at 30. Give these people a break. Ryan has done great things with Node and Deno. Give him a break. Don't stomp on the guy. Give him some kudos. Help him FFS. Don't trash him. Shame honestly. Ryan keep up the great work. It's hard. Deno team, it's the effort and intention that counts. Good work. Regroup, try again.
You know, I was initially dismissive of your comment but you have a point and I don't really. We're mostly here for the tech news and I actually agree with you.
Yes, and - it's not hypocritical to derive benefit from the results of activities that you disagree with, so long as you don't thereby meaningfully contribute to or legitimize those activities.
I fully expect that the average audience of my peers here will be _more_ "VC-pilled" than if I were on Mastodon or whatever, because this is in some respects "a VC space". That doesn't make it incorrect to express an anti-VC opinion here (or anywhere) - it just means I should expect less support for my objectively-correct ( ;) ) position.
