Heh, I seem to have hit a bit of a nerve with my comments on hustleporn and positivity here last night

To add to my take, the thing that bothers me is how like 2015 it seems, like we've learned nothing in the interim. By contrast, in previous tech cycles, it felt like archetypes evolved a bit each time.

What about 2023 discourse is more useful / productive vs. 2015?

Entrepreneurs need to trade intelligence but aren’t a natural subculture. Their talent lies in breaking away from herds not joining them

I’ve noticed the tribalism for some time (idk how it differs from past) but isn’t that always a necessity to create cohesion of cultures and sub-cultures? Without it would products or community even rise off the ground?

Would love to learn here, what conflicts are worth identifying to avoid?

I think one positive I can point to in 2023 specifically is some healthy skepticism of ZIRP-VC investment models and appetite/creativity in pursuing alternatives.

But the tribalism is like 2014, and headed into the exact same dumb and unnecessary conflict with the "techlash" tribe (which has also learned nothing)
