I keep finding myself nodding my head while reading Pete’s blog. This post was no exception.
It never ceases to amaze me that tech bros want to build worlds created in dystopian novels and expect a different outcome.

It’s painful to think about how much capital is spent chasing pyramid schemes and illusions rather than solving actual problems.
