Get over yourself.

One of the biggest influencers of this industry has passed away, someone who's been a source of great inspiration for many, many of us.

Frankly, the inability of some of you to not understand our more human, primal faculties is surprising. Some of you have come right out of the gate to question whether his words should really be taken seriously with respects to chasing your dreams, or whether the contributions he's made to this world are anything but.

If you can't tolerate this for a few days, or find something else to do, then something is seriously wrong.

His death affected me, and I've never spoken a single word to the man. I find a lot of the things he's said keep popping up in my head when I'm down, feel lost and lacking purpose.

No, you know what, fuck that. That sort of emotion is wrong. You're right. Let me save this sort of reaction when a YC company gets blasted for a perceived act of injustice. I'm sure you'd have no problems with that.

An ounce of sympathy and empathy would do wonders for you.



STFU and get over yourself or go cry in a corner, we are not interested.


That corner for many is HN because of the community.
