Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The more I think about it, the more "Day One" comes across as nonsensical.

I woke up this morning, we had multiple data centers across the globe filled with millions of servers... Day One.

I clocked into the swing shift, we have bins overflowing with unthinkable amounts of returned items, many of which are semi-perishable toiletries and personal hygiene products... Day One.

As a simple-minded catchphrase to orient one's thinking, it becomes more and more absurd as the company scales. But Jeff don't care, he punched out a long time ago.
