The version of hacking I’ve grown up with for 30 plus years has always had very little space in it for bad takes from rich people.

You’re commenting on the central megaphone of one of the biggest VC components in the valley ecosystem.

That it has “hacker” is seemingly incidental. This place has always had bad takes from rich people - or takes from people who are seeking to be rich by way of tech.

  • No, but see, it's called the _Democratic_ People's Republic of Korea. It's right there in the name.

    Right, but hacker is the culture they have wrapped themselves in, and I'm commenting on that. I'm commenting on one of the markers of validity that matters to how people in this group evaluate the credibility of an argument.
