"What she meant was that it's impossible to get that rich without doing something bad — without cheating in some way."

AOC was right.

Airbnb disregarded their impact on rents in touristic cities, and competed with hotels by running faster than regulations.

Kalshi is gambling.

Doordash leveraged underpaid delivery drivers on unfair contracts.

Instacart cheated con consumer fees.

Reddit was based on (milked and abused) volunteer moderators.

I stop because I don't know all the 30 billionaires that YC created... But this subset of companies should cover 30% of them.

I am happy we have innovation in the world, but claiming these things are not bad for society and ways to cheat to the top is... Lying

I would aim... Away from the glare of the software world.

There are plenty of smallish companies that just bob along. If you pinch your nose for long enough you quickly become indispensable, and your productivity will rarely be very challenged.

But... Be aware. "Bullshit jobs" can be enjoyed only by the right mind. Most people find them miserable anyway, it doesn't really matter if they are easy, or low effort. (This means also that I disagree with recommending to become Project or Product Manager - when those roles are properly useless... They are also soul crushing, with layers of stress on top)

Matteo Vaccari is one of the evangelist of the agile movement and XP values in Italy.

It's interesting to see his take and experiments with AI to tackle what is fundamentally legacy code.
