Startup culture is the cancer killing tech. Just a bunch of normalfags

Hacker News is generally very cynical about startup culture, at least in the comment threads I read. It's just that the actual folks at YC are dipshits. Once you look past the overlap between the two it's fine.

Please include pretty much every online tech publication on your list though. Verge goes right at the top. Now there are some total fucks who are in it for the hype money.

How to spot a retard who has no idea what he's talking about.

>Just a bunch of normalfags trying to cash in on "le nerdy tech world xD"

Pretty much. Before that they were in real-estate, banking, startups (dotcom boom)

An AMERICUKS invention
Uber président and shit

Large company culture is even worse though.

>>61660228
It isn't. Large companies are led by men and women at least in their 40s - usually between 50 and 70 to be honest -, those people are very mature and serious about what they do. And they employ hard working people. Start ups on the other hand are led by spoiled college kids who were given $100k by daddy to start their own companies and they hire their college friends. Tell me, who would you rather trust to run a company, the Californian "YOLO" college kids who have parties, beer, weed and orgies 24/7, or tall, grey haired men in dark suits carrying briefcases?

>basing your perception on the world on STOCK PHOTOS
WHAT

>>61662186
Id trust the college kids tbqh. Fuck boomers.

>>61662186
They're serious about what they do; and what they do is look for ways to dick you over.

And TED talks are good, it's the unofficial TEDx talks that are hot garbage.

>Only pay attention to people who actually care about technology.

So, does that mean you're gonna leave /g/?

The Verge has fallen off since Gamer gate and allowed SJW's to post stupid things about Gamers.

>>61662248
Yeah Boomers suck ass they gave us an economic recession and are piling up debt that we will be paying into their retirement funds on S.S.

That's the dumbest mistake you could ever make, Anon.

>>61662186
That is an impressive strawman you built there, buddy.

>>61662452
I don't.
That's the thing.
As long as the contract is respected, the company could be run by blind albino polynesians, via tibetan prophecies, for all i care.

startups are going to crash their bubble and kill californias economy

Startups already crashed in london desu
Worked for one that failed because it was based on startup culture and being a startup rather than actually being a small business that upscales. Wasnt very profitable and I worked for free for "the potential".

I know its reddit but the startup subreddit gives you feel for the hate people have for the culture after working for one. These startups are usually run by over zeapous drop outs who think theyre the next zuckerberg and their idea follows the format of "its x but like for Y" the main """CEO""" usually doesnt have an ounce of technical knowledge and wants to protect his idea, everything revolves around his oh so protected idea like its worth a fucking thing

>>61662248
yeah FUCK old people XD Anarchy!!!

The hardest thing about starting a business is attracting customers.
That's why social media is a channel that must be tried.

I started a business and I don't even have personal social media accounts. But I do have someone with a meme job managing social media. I don't thing social media has produced any results so far. But it does look good for the brand.

>>61662998
startups are literally ruining the term startup

you're supposed to create a startup after actual sales, not establishing one in hopes sales come

millennials can't into shit desu how embarrassing

>he doesn't know

>Work at a startup with a quirky non-standard domain name
>"Agile" "scrum" but horribly applied
>Lead developer knows less about programming than me
>Has actively broken my programs trying to "enhance" them on more than one occasion
>Doesn't know how to use git or linux
>Made it seem in interview like they were an actual competent team that did code reviews and shit
>After I joined the other "developers" all bolted.

Yes I'm looking for work atm. When I leave they honestly might go under but fuck it its too late to worry about that now

It was my first programming job and I was desperate.

Your in for a surprise.

80% of the businesses are like that. And that includes the government.
Most people are incapable of doing their job.
