I note this comment there:

    solarbird says:

    "Follow the fucking money. When a VC tells you
    what's good for you, check your wallet, then
    count your fingers."

    "...if you still have use of them."

    "It took a lot of really painful physical
    therapy for me to get my hands back, and I
    still can't work in the industry
    anymore. It's not just burnout, it's
    physically destructive. I would not do
    that same shit again. At least, I
    certainly wouldn't let myself get pushed
    around like that. Fuck that noise."
