So how much did they have to donate to the MAGA PAC for this one?

I was hoping for Pantheon too (I’m 90% sure Holstrom uses EMacs instead of Vim?)

I’ll be honest this seems low for what he’s been through.

There's not going to be many non-Ivy+ graduates at these companies. I make Jane Street/HRT/etc new grad pay 8 years into my career

Cognitive elites are the MIT and Ivy+ grads that make up Jane Street like the speaker.

People like me aren’t getting $5m+ bonuses for being an SRE (I don’t have the pedigree to work at Anthropic either)

I'll never understand how these cognitive elites live. They're just a completely different kind of human than the rest of us.

Can we squint and say the gut microbiome is kind of like this?

I went to a state school, worked at Amazon and didn’t get a 2300 on my SAT - I definitively am lower caste but the caste/class divergence isn’t well understood in culture I think.

As someone that thinks of myself as a low-caste, middle class American it's interesting seeing all of these people listed in the article making less than me

>btw 99% of MIT people are no different then the rest they just worked hard or paid hefty amounts

I don't think that's true. I didn't get into any elite schools unlike almost all of them.

I genuinely think this is because the elites like the MIT dropouts that started this company think the rest of us observers are stupid.

They have a billboard with the copy "Compliance before you tell your parents you dropped out of MIT"

The problem may not be "intellectually interesting" to them at all, but building B2B SaaS does appeal to them from a lifestyle/prestige/pedigree perspective and will probably get them an exit to become a Venture investor even if they fail.

Major red flag with this should have been that their expensive marketing predicated heavily on them being MIT dropouts instead of any expertise in the space

As someone trying to monitor the situation using Twitter the last few weeks it’s awful and it used to not be!

I don't think he has an obligation to do anything. I just think he's a hack and your friendship is blinding you to this fact.

I frequently follow Patrick's tweets. He hasn't said a single goddamn thing about this corrupt administration but keeps talking about Gavin Newsome's vaccine policy that was in effect for 2 months in 2021

Personally, I’d prefer a slow mode that’s a ton cheaper for a lot of things.
