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.

you are both correct and fatuous, which is an ideal combination

But why the downvote? Just because things suck we should just lie down and take it? We can at least talk about how it sucks and we wish it were different. There's nothing silly in wanting the world to be better.

you are, without any sense of shame, evangelizing libreoffice to someone who compiled it straight from git like 12 hours ago because they use it constantly, in a community made entirely out of techies deeply involved with open source projects

and now you’re complaining that your weak shit got a tiny number of downvotes? cause we didn’t clap like seals at the mere idea of the existence of open source software? fuck right off, thanks
