Touchy feely memoires of people that people don’t know
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Man, I hate reading pieces like this (bill gates third act a story of redemption for the fallen geek hero) in ValleyWag. It has this soft and winding way of telling a story that ultimately ends up making me dislike the author.
- you’ve never met Bill Gates, and mostly you talk about your upper middle class view of the world, so why do we care about you thoughts on his next act?
- your family losing money in the dot com crash - this doesn’t make me feel sorry for you
- “many lean years trying to pay Bay Area rents on HTML coder wages that plummeted by two-thirds seemingly overnight still lay ahead” - yeah… see line above and ask me why you lost money in the dot com era.
- I had more thoughts but this “article” has already lost interest for me
