I know this isn't very on the topic, but these articles make me cringe physically.
> “You should compete,” I suggested.
> He smirked. “I always compete.”
Feels like a vocal jerk-off. Just tell me the details, idc how tuff the interview was.
This is a style of writing called "narrative journalism" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative_journalism
I find it pretty distracting too.
These pieces are usually just advertising with more words. They want to frame Replit and their hero founder as being rebels who don't follow the rules or fear goliath.
This is fantasy fiction for VCs, founders, AI bros, and anyone else who isn't actually looking for information.
I don't know what it is but I don't think that it's an ad. Otherwise I guess they wouldn't have that snarky pro-israel undertone towards him.
I did not even notice that, yikes.
Are you accusing the SF Standard of running a paid promotion without disclosing it as such?
This is similar to a political campaign not telling you to vote on X, but still talking greatly about X. It's completely legal
