This was so much fun to read. You know why it's funny? Because it's so true. That's why.

Seriously, there are so many great points in there hidden between the expletives. Here is one that really touched me:

> And what the fuck all those parties after raising money. Don’t you get it? You just dug your grave a little bit deeper. You should celebrate any day that you don’t have to sell off another part of your company.

I stared coming to hacker news for the tech conversations reading this made me realize how much I have been sucked in to the dark side of it.

The irony of the fact that I read this during my morning 30 minute read through of tech news—at Hacker News, the über site, no less—is not lost on me.

Although a funny essay, there's a great deal of truth here, and should make us ask some hard questions about how, why, and when the technology world and its culture should infiltrate the everyday.

Funny read. It was certainly comprehensive. I don't think they missed anything.

Now that the 30-minute routine of tech news is done, we shall reflect on this essay during the 30-minute meditation session and add appropriate actionable items to our quarterly and yearly goals.
