> . I’ve been a senior leader at multiple very high profile and successful startups. I’ve also founded several VC backed startups.

What startups? I can't square your attitude towards PG with a history like that. Something is off.

You do realize not everyone in our industry agrees on everything right? Tbh you seem pretty junior. PG isn’t some universally loved figure. A lot of people (successful) don’t like YC at all and think they pump out lame ideas. I’ll coach you a bit here and challenge you to go find a senior person in our industry that doesn’t agree with pg. There’s a lot of them out there and you’d definitely expand your horizons.

As to my background, I’d prefer to stay anonymous so I can freely speak my mind. You don’t have to believe me, but it would probably be helpful if you admitted that there are many philosophies on leadership and it’s worth exploring more than one.

You shouldn't assume either. I'm more senior than you'd guess.

Your attitudes are just odd and uncharitable coming from someone who should know how hard it is to create things that people love.
