Man, this poor kid is both causing and taking a reputation beating.

Still, have to agree it's ridiculous that we're supposed to take the lifestyle opinions of a 19 year old seriously.

Exactly- When I wrote this, I couldn't believe Sarah Lacy sent a 19 year old to pass judgement on Chicago in a short visit. Personally, I admire Trevor's guts- it isn't easy to do what he did but yes, he is taking a beating and right ly so in some regards. Saying everyone in Chicago works 9 to 5 in startups is beyond ludicrous....lol.

All that said, if he can keep his head on straight, he'll likely develop into a great writer

Touchy subject, from a start-up guy with a foot in both camps. But wholeheartedly support the needs for more of this tough dialogue.
