Thought-provoking thread from someone outside the historical startup regions. (Sounds like he and I got started around the same time, when there was really only one tech startup center)

Looking back at my career in tech, one of the things that I've realised is... The startup world was massively weighted against me from the very beginning. I fell into tech. I literally got given a part time tech job while at university in the 90s.

Extremely jaundiced view, extremely distorted by his setbacks. More so than successes are distorted by the success. I’m sympathetic, but the picture he paints says a lot about him and very little about startups.

For me (graduated Bay Area, went to a sleepy mid-90s Austin, came back right after the dotcom bust) his thread read like another viewpoint on what was happening, from a more distant and less-resourced geography
