> Hackers need to mature into the real world if they want to run grown-up companies.
A talk-radio slogan when Bush was elected was that "the adults are in charge". How'd that work out for you?
Really, you can't talk about being "grown-up" out of one side of your mouth while basely insulting your opponents' "maturity" out of the other side just because we disagree politically.
It's not because we simply disagree politically, that's obviously fine with me, but not with anyone else in the tech community apparently. This is now the second instance in as many weeks where the tech mob is actively running out anyone who disagrees with their political views and boycotting entire companies for having the gall to hire useful people who happen to be conservative.
> having the gall to hire useful people who happen to be conservative
BS. To me it's really simple, and not about party affiliation: A strong supporter of warrantless wire tapping and bulk anonymous data collection is a terrible choice for the board of a consumer file-storage service.
