i'll antagonize whoever i deem to antagonize because usually when i do i ask questions and then they can respond and we call that conversation.

that's my preferred form of antagonism is written speech on the internet. please excuse me while i continue antagnozing you who has nothing to do with the employer in question at all whatsover and never will

good luck to you sir

read tomorrow's blog post on andys.blog and enjoy you crazy loony

i stand by it.

if you or anyone else can explain to my why i am fired and why these comments are a cesspool of rage and scorn then please do call me and let me know your insight.

or if you want to ask someone not me for ground truth, go ahead and ask Simple AI and YC hahaha

throw you have a great comment here. i forgot to upvote it. now it is upvoted :)

like i hear you nice green anon man with the 13hour old account you made just for that one comment, but really there is no goal. there is just life. then you die.

try googling "trattner" and read 20 links or "erin hills" and somthing its fun

huh fascinating you've commented to amass 5784 karma insideOutSanta but never posted or submitted a single thing? to HN? i would give you -5 karma as a loser who never submitted something. that seems healthy to me

start with past employers then proceed to future employers my raincom bro

ah yes i do recall in 2017 when i did that precisely that job for 3mo as Pillar.VC got off the ground with Parker & Tiff in seaport and we just read tons of random boston little newsletters to "source deals" and "analyze" the internet and find things about "founders" who were just little kids who did nothing and had no good ideas to fund.

the fund did well. by well i have no f** clue what IRR was but i took months 3-6 of the internship and finished MIT instead of working the full term of the $5k/mo internship that Jamie Goldstein hired me for. so their headcount and portfolio at least grew beyond Russ Jamie Sarah + interns to a multiple funds thing thing, staple of Boston idk whatever VC on east coast "Big VC" oooo scary

it was a waste of time and of the firm's money to do this meaningless "background checks" i'm sure Russ and Sarah and Jamie would tell you the same. they don't regret not working with me longer Parker was the better hire for the firm. haha

Tiff has done amazing since.

so idk exactly what you mean - what VC and how do they research and what's SignalFire's latest from Andrew Ng at Greenoaks the chess prodigy YC founder who built literally the tool to source AI on the graph of the internet and calibrate founder elo per Sequoia's secret sauce... Andrew may or may not be my friend from Scale AI poker nights when we played bughouse with Alex Wang i dont remember i just go all in on the poker table.

oh did you read that mr vc: https://world.hey.com/tratt/how-i-won-16k-in-a-poker-tournam...

oh no you didn't oops

and tell me exactly how you plan to scrape the internet as a VC cuz my output is prolific and i guarantee gemini will tell a clear story no problem about Andy Trattner on the internet with the appropriate credence.

regardless of this HN thread.

just check the timestamps. sigh.

one method is to be perfectly calibrated to all potential knock-on effects to the 4th degree so x^1 x^2 x^3 x^4 terms.

i do not claim six sigma so ^5 and beyond or like 4+ standard devs is beyond me obv there are only a few humans that good.

but i am good enough that i get calibration to the 1-4th degree psychology. thanks. and yes i agree all comments should be careful. and beautiful and art you look back at and laugh in 10 years, along with the rest of the world.

so you only have to speak once, in writing. then its over. and the context moves on tomorrow.

does HN staff make spoof accounts to prop up and balance karma? this is such schlep reddit bogus weirdness

stevetrattner.com direct letters here. my pleasure. this is my favorite project. thanks for knowing my legal history you anonymous weirdo

i have POA for my father who is in jail so yes. it is easy to since age 10 be navigating the justice system when your aunt and uncle beat you in wisconsin to not become jeffrey dahmmer making of a murder Netflix

and instead become an angel of light and silicon valley MIT stardom.

oh did i say beat i meant beat your little sister who is 6 years old when you are 9 and then they steal your money to go take their kids to the Charcoal Grill while you have peanut butter in the kitchen and eat nothing good and that was done on $3k/mo social security checks in your name but you don't know because you are 9

and then they take your college funds and remodel their kitchen for $40k or $80k i don't remember dont even try to calculate the interest to date in 2026 from 2006 and then

they sell the house! for a profit!

and you pay your own way thru college. did you get that part of the story anon account?

and by the time you learn the word "statute of limitations" it has expired thusly

never have been never will be bro.

come check out my view tho it's quite nice next to Oracle Park we can see from twin peaks to bay bridge. if i smell bad it means i failed to shower and if you can see me you probably also pay $6k/mo rent without issue.

thanks for the link, at least. silly economist. learn from hackernews.

man after watching that lady with elon interview idk if the economist is as reliable as it used to be. i have a friend at Anthropic who once told me he loved how they don't use author names? they apparently are all written by "the economist" as an intellectual point that each article "writes itself from the ideas" kind of pseudonym extreme. not like NYT and other outlets. fascinating but loses credibility if "The Economist" gets into a fight live with Elon as they ostensibly try to help him with his image by interviewing him for 1.45 hours ish that's pretty long to be helping and not fighting but very doable by both sides.

as elon said should be "zero point zero percent fighting" as the ideal. and correct form of journalism.

thanks for sharing! china also wants to end romance meaning by the builders i speak with on that side of the great firewall they want to bring world peace just as much as the USA. so i just really don't get these titles sometimes.

"no more bots" and "They are having too much impact on young people’s lives"

who gets to decide who has what impact in a young person's lives? who cares? this is Gojo Satoru in jujutsu kaisen right?

google "paul graham write for the young" and see what Gemini says. i dare you:

https://www.paulgraham.com/field.html

literally talks about how his essays and the birth of YC are causally entangled and PG didn't realize it until like 2026 hahaahahhahahaahahahahaha
