My sentiments, exactly

I was truly impressed...

A friend recently sent me a link to a powerful essay on the state of the world of start-ups.  It is so powerful, and so carefully crafted, that I prefer not to offer you sound-bite tidbits from it.  Instead, I urge you to read it yourself - HERE. 

There is value in it for everybody in the start-up world: entrepreneurs, investors, dreamers, coders, and commentators.

And when you finish with that, you may want to re-visit "boring stuff that people actually need."

I personally find no reason to admire nor desire to emulate fortunes made in mindless electronic time-wasting and heartless financial arbitrage.  They are both selfish drains on the social and economic fabric of the entire globe.  

I prefer enterprises with actual hearts, rather than cheesy red icons.
