Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Kudos to Robin Guo and Jonathan Lai for managing to trick a16z to pay them for writing and researching this kind of shit. Turn your hobby into your work and you will etc.

let's not valorise people doing bad things, much less them getting paid for it :|

Yes, I meant this post more as 'doesn't a16z get he is being scammed here?'

Anyway this reminds me a bit of 2005 when there was an Asterix and Obelix comic where there was an invasion of space aliens, one of who was called the Nagma. Which went over a bit badly as it read as a weird freakout about how popular manga comix suddenly were. (So good job VCs you are not only behind the times, but 20 years behind the French! (I mean this as a light ribbing, I love the French/Belgian comics))
