In 18 years from now, which company will have employees writing blog posts like this about it?
I hear amazing stories about the early days of Google and I can’t help but think, which engineering company that is in its infancy right now will have employees reminiscing so fondly of the early days? An AI startup?
The first time I used Airbnb, I stayed on a living room couch in Hull, Québec for $20/night and this old drunk Québecer, the roommate of host, sat in the living room with us until 4am (despite not really being invited) telling us about anything from his experience working in an Albertan sulfur mine at 15, to his favourite local working girls.
Now when I use Airbnb, it costs $80/night and there are no creepy French people to keep me company. So I would definitely agree that Airbnb is broken.
