I mean, it's read time is 20 minutes at most. I don't think it's long or tasteless or anything.

I've been experimenting with writing longer-form content. I do agree the main point could be condensed a lot and I'm not the a great writer by far. This is kind of a rant and really cathartic for me to write after working more than 5 years on startups. Just wanted to share it.

It's flabbergasting how this story is close to the reality. Bookmarked, I would love to see it printed.

I read it full and I loved it and bookmarked it.

It resonates with my personal experience, and your writing style is fresh and dynamic.

Thanks for sharing it, and it deserves to be on the front page and #1.

This was such a funny and refreshing read. Especially to find on this VC fuelled forum.

There was so much truth in this on a Dilbertesque level. If you can learn from this you are winning.

I am not saying "VC bad". I am saying it is a sharp-edged tool which you need to wield with great care. This humorous piece really points out the pitfalls.

Worth the read - do not just lurk here in the comment section (as I usually do!)
