Either way, like many of my colleagues from that era, I went on to do many of the same things as the people listed in the article. The company was one of a handful of reputable infosec workplaces back in the day, but I don't think it a magical gateway to success.
I don't think anyone is disputing (or could reasonably dispute) that @-stake was influential on the early security industry. I don't read the commentary here as hate, just context.

I think it's hard to deny they weren't highly visible, and with that influenced observers by demonstrating successful business model, no? I think it's a fair comment that they weren't groundbreakers though.
