HN discussion around that time: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=12682944&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=12682944&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;My comment from back then:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Although I genuinely miss Valleywag and all the absurdity that it covered (e.g. Clinkle), I&amp;#x27;m not sure if this is a fair critique of startup culture outside of having the excuse to say the F word a lot. As someone living in San Francisco, I can say that there are more to startups and startup culture than the stereotypes seen in Medium thought pieces and the Hacker News front page, although given the end of this particular Medium thought piece, that may be the point.&lt;p&gt;Given that the OP now works at WeWork, I suppose the startup world can&amp;#x27;t be f&amp;#x27;ed forever.</text></comment>

Peak medium right here. Comes off sounding like a pissed off child more than real critique.&lt;p&gt;Not worth reading in my opinion.</text></comment>
