> What's killing us is MBAs and Salesmen.

SamA is not an MBA. He did CS for 2 years and dropped out to build a startup. He's YC personified, and the person most responsible for the phenomenon you're talking about. Take that for what you will.

People are what they do. Pretty sure the man has been a Salesman ever since he started seeking funding for OpenAI.

So dropping out of CS to start selling something was more important to him than 2 more years of CS education. Maybe he realized that continuing his engineering education was unnecessary because he preferred selling things. Sounds like a salesman.

So he's a salesman

[insane_dreamer]

he's just a salesman without an MBA, which is maybe even worse

[dingnuts]

oh but he is a salesman

[LamerBeeI]
