The cynicism in this thread makes me feel a little more confident that even if there was a bubble, its going to deflate, rather than pop.

A theory of mine is that really what we're seeing is a change in attitude about corporate governance and business building as the VC money from outside the SV bubble becomes increasingly relevant.

Discussion of founder-friendliness recently seem to back that up in my mind. If FF attitude is going away, it is because of declining influence of the SV venture crowd controlling the narrative about their own special sauce and the right way™ to form a company.

Increasing diversity of LPs and VCs from outside SV are bound to have an effect on the attitudes toward companies being founded. Posts like this seem like justifications for existing behaviors, rather than a playbook based on any evidentiary burden.

The average person in SV is a cynic but the average dollar is metered by VCs.
