Well, yeah. Those days were still before everything that’s happened with glorifying startups. If you were going to do a startup business, there wasn’t a huge expectation that it was going to be glamorous in any particular kind of way. You were going to work really hard and maybe it was going to work, though probably not.

Indeed.

Some might even go so far as to say:

  if (glorifying_startups > BUBBLE_MAX) { kaboom(); }

Anyway, great stories!
