1998
It's feeling a little too late 90s.. I keep reading these articles about
startups that piss me off.
Now there are some of companies that do interesting things and stuff that
impress me. SOME. So this isn't an encompassing generalization, just a
large one.
I don't know what my problem with it is.. Maybe because so many companies like
to say just how important they are, or will be... Which in some cases is true,
or rather WOULD be true _IF_ they succeed.. which is a big if.. But nobody
seems to predict that very well, except certain VCs.. but then again when you
start looking at those VCs, you start questioning the causality of it.
I think my problem really comes down to the fact that I'm jealous. The people
running these companies, for the most part, have something I lack-- they can
focus on the thing they're doing, acting as if it is the only thing important
to them, and as if it is as important as they tell their investors it is. Oh,
and they're willing to have an exit strategy, which I'm very much not..
But at least I think I'm having more fun...
