Wisdom? Here are some words of wisdom: “I doubt you can understand the magnitude of the stupidity in your statement”
SouthATL··on YC Demo Day Session 3
I looked this guy up. Pinboard?

This guys is making fun of startups that are fighting HIV and cancer and he's working on a bookmarking site? If the word social was on his resume more, it would be a parody in itself.

This guy is a good example of a washed up dev who think he's smart because he can be mean.

Whats also fascinating is this guy is implying the his version of silicon valley is somehow 'true' and these startups who have managed to get users, launched product and revenue are 'hyped'.

Please maciej, leave the valley. You're right - too much hype and purists like yourself shouldn't be tainted with products that actually get users and make money.

Also, look forward to pinboard being the next big thing.
