Comment on Ask HN: What you hate the most from starting a startup?parent

Don't forget to blog this on the trendy "Medium". A visionary way to "blog" and start trending with some hashtag.

Apart from my above sentence, which could be a number 11 in your post, this was a solid answer.

So let's swap it around now...

The real Valley founder checklist:

- White - Male - Alpha - 23-25 - Talk the talk - Know more (important) people than "how to code" - Master human-SEO (throwing keywords to investors) - Go to Stanford - Use your connections to "work at Google" - SoLoMo (Silicon Valley show) - Misogynist

I think I got them all.

"Human SEO." I like that. Hadn't thought of it that way before. That's mad disruptive bro.

Other industries have it worse though, or have different issues all their own. Finance is a real shitshow.

You think we'll get funding if we follow this model of "disruption", brogramming and "change the world" by making a nekked-pic-sharing app that "self-destructs" by changing the image format and hiding it in cold storage?

I love finance! The only industry where you are allowed to compete with your clients in the same markets directly (and screw them over).
