Comment on Nice guys finish first. Eventually.

Even if nice guys do "win-out" eventually, how exactly would this happen in a start-up? If a Jerk-Aggressive-Dominant team builds a great product and becomes the top of the pyramid by acting like assholes, when is it that they get replaced by nice guys?

I just don't think business works like that.

I think the Jerk-Aggressive-Dominant team ends up making a big PR goof causing customers to jump ship.
