Maciej Cegłowski's ongoing twitter commentary on these things is priceless.




It's easy to write trivializing one-liners when you haven't bothered to learn anything about the companies or the problems they are solving.


I assume s/he's going for humour rather than communicating any useful information, which is perfectly reasonable.

"And now an online community especially for women! They even got the domain. Please don’t let it be pink. Please don’t let it be pink." ... "@Pinboard Spoiler: it's pink."

Made me giggle - so op success?


Wisdom? Here are some words of wisdom: “I doubt you can understand the magnitude of the stupidity in your statement”


I looked this guy up. Pinboard?

This guys is making fun of startups that are fighting HIV and cancer and he's working on a bookmarking site? If the word social was on his resume more, it would be a parody in itself.

This guy is a good example of a washed up dev who think he's smart because he can be mean.

Whats also fascinating is this guy is implying the his version of silicon valley is somehow 'true' and these startups who have managed to get users, launched product and revenue are 'hyped'.

Please maciej, leave the valley. You're right - too much hype and purists like yourself shouldn't be tainted with products that actually get users and make money.

Also, look forward to pinboard being the next big thing.
