Just want to say that as a startup founder, running tech companies for the past many decades, this post makes me sad, not grateful or joyous. It makes me feel like there's plenty of money on the sidelines to fund $300M+ at-a-whim larks to bail out Startup founders who are mostly going to go bust anyways (those are just the facts of startup life), but meanwhile startup founders outside of that bubble can't raise a penny and go bust / layoff anyways. Layoffs.fyi tracker hasn't been slowing down.

So it's just a feeling, but it's not of happiness - it's of profound sadness and disappointment.
