This is one good reason why I don't read anything written by this guy. Very often we see him posting his thoughts and rants on HN about stuff he little knows about on his blog (Marco.org) pretending to be some kind of super-entrepreneur. And now, he has shown his true colors - He abused his power as a developer for a personal gain, and threw out the trust factor.

Agreed, up to a point. When he talks about things he _does_ know a lot about, like programming, I'm an enthusiastic listener.

But when he starts talking about business, mocking MBAs, yet claims raising capital isn't taking on debt (I guess convertible debt isn't a concept to him), my eyes can't stop rolling.

His platform about his profitable company of one being way better than a break-even thousand-employee company is also infuriating.

It's good practice to stick with what you know, especially when you have a large audience of varying expertise.
