The giant sucking sound of imagination draining from Silicon Valley 😐
There’s a dreary shift towards stagey tech-for-tech’s-sake charismatic stunts I don’t like. Like late-style artists making tediously overwrought self-indulgent works.

I don’t observe this drop in imagination personally. And when I look at the lists of companies from YC S2014 techcrunch.com/2014/08/19/yc- vs YC S2019 techcrunch.com/2019/08/19/all, I don’t get a sense there’s less imagination these days. Beware of remembered golden ages!

Interesting in 2012. Now just a big company that needs a boring turn around and financial reengineering

This simultaneously describes the tedious phoned-in quality of veteran standup comics lately
