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.

If it takes 1 man 1 hr to dig a 1 cubic metre hole, then in theory, 60 men will be able to dig the same hole in one minute!
Eat the rich, start now.
Some More News had an interesting thesis on RTO: CEOs are blaming the lack of people coming into the office as to why the line isn't going up.
How investors can believe this I don't understand.
Sergey, my man, just get a t-shirt that says "I have no friends or hobbies and I don't particularly like my family" instead. You don't have to work so hard to let us know.
And if we add more people shoveling coal into a lot more boilers we can surely make this steam train fly line a bird. Yeah, that approach doesn't always work.
I still think you are not listening to me: if a woman can deliver a baby in 9 months, why can't we add three women to deliver it in 3 months? Are you sure you understand math?
Work harder so we can replace you sooner.
Except none of this shit works, so its work harder so we can throw all your code in the trash in another five years when we chase the Next Big Thing.
I don't understand this bs. They already have more money and notoriety (in their circles) than they could have hoped for.
Why grind their employees into the dirt?
You don't get CEOs and billionaires.
It's not enough to have more money than you could ever spend, you need to have all of the money.
Only if you do too.
This isn't the gotcha you think it is. At my workplace I know of at least two members of "the C suite" that are easily physically in the office 60 hours a week. Which only makes it harder to push back against the RTO, because they legitimately love being in the office and see no downsides.
