Ask HN: Who do you think would be the Gordon Ramsay of startup world?

3 pointsby tarikozketvor 9 Jahren4 comments

Whenever I see an episode of Kitchen Nightmares by Gordon Ramsay, I can't keep myself thinking of a version of it for technical startups. Imagine someone walking around yelling "you idiot store passwords unencrypted!", "I clicked this button and didn't do anything!", "How long ago someone checked the inbox of info email?", "For how long this broken link was here?", "How do you plan to scale this shit up?", "You have 6 more servers running not configured yet!", "Who welcomes customers?!", "Why is there no chat on frontend?!" etc.

Who do you think would be the Gordon Ramsay of startup world?

Or her. Though, it would be an interesting case study of how people really react to a Male Gordon Boss vs a Female one.

Not startup-specific, but Linus Torvalds is definitely the Gordon Ramsay of programming.
