Jerks and the Startups They Ruin

This is basically a more serious riff on Dan Lyon's 'Disrupted' -- and having read that book, I'm a little disappointed in this editorial as it doesn't bring anything particular new to this (Uber) discussion.

His previous book, with its first-person descriptions of life inside Hubspot rang _eerily_ true to me as a late-30s employee at a Bay-area unicorn, and has caused me to re-evaluate a lot of things around me. Disrupted is hilarious, depressing, and fucking spot-on.
