Anil DashI’m eavesdropping (well, they’re so loud I can’t ignore them) on two young startup guys at this coffee shop, a version of a conversation I’ve heard a million times. But what’s striking vs 10 or 15 years ago is… almost nothing they’re talking about is the tech. Everything is financial engineering and how to hustle the ecosystem. Nothing about products or even markets and competition, all fussing about banks and crypto and VCs. Explains a lot about my fatigue over the industry in general.
jdtechie@anildash It does feel like a chunk of the startup scene has been replaced with guys just trying to make a quick buck and they'll move on to the next get-rich-quick plan as this field cools off. Just making a product people want and use feels almost quaint now.
