I don’t want your Kool-Aid Bitch!
Today I was surfing around on my friends blog. One blog lead to another… Anyway, I ended up on a very cool blog by this guy, Chad Dickerson, who I was starting to dig. Turns out that he is just another Paul Graham. The problem with these guys is that they are always tring to get us to drink the Kool-Aid. I am tired of it. Why can’t they just come out and say what it is they are doing and why they are doing it. Then I wouldn’t lose all respect for people whom I could respect.
Chad is clearly using these hack days for recruiting and my buddy Paul is making money off the backs of young naive codeslingers.

Best blog title… ever.
Ya, Ho – write me some Co !?
Dewd….you be being too hard on Yahoo. What they are doing is exactly as stated which is sponsoring a great event which has at best a small chance of spawning things of great value to Yahoo. They are not doing it out of goodness, butdue to networking, possible jobs , etc, etc. this is a win for all involved and this is a great trend in corporate thinking and in programming.
You think somebody’s going to come up with something like Flickr during this, and Yahoo will grab it and say “Thanks for the code sucker, now take this pizza and go home!”. Ridiculous.
