#12How do you deal with a cofounder who has an MBA and is an MBA? I've been having this issue for the past two years and it can get very frustrating.

This is actually a pretty decent last word on the subject, IMHO.
Agreed. I wrote the pro-MBA post on HN and think that this guy nailed it.
Yeah I am forwarding this to my be an MBA bro in law. Hopefully he can snap out of it before he graduates. One can hope, right?

#14I completed a dual MBA/MS in CS last may. An MBA is phenomenal for personal development and a broadening of perspective - certainly not essential to start or run a successful business. I personally think everyone should do an MBA as opposed to general undergrad requirements. A basic business sense is a great prerequisite for any career.

#16Short MBA: Listen and learn with your customers. And The End.
Extra bonus: Never read any other business book in your life.
Back to programming.

It's fine to purchase a MacBook Air, you just really don't want to be one.

#18In short: Be you. Don't be a douche.

If he's your bro in law rather than brother in law, you're already in trouble.
