I agree with all of this. a16z and other VC's are pretty clearly on the side of capital, and don't really believe that labor provides any value. Employee's taking lower salaries and investing years of their lives don't provide any lasting value according to a16z. I just cannot believe that he would try to justify taking back fairly given compensation because an employee did not want to continue doubling down and investing more and more money and labor into a startup.

When did the labor-capital debate shift from truck drivers to PhD-caliber computer scientists? Serious question, I think I missed the clear split. Has it always been there and I didn't realize it? Is there a clear historical event?
