The problem is, as is so often the case with our modern companies, the things that got broken were other people's things. The things that were gained were made theirs.

In other words, privatized profits and socialized costs. Again.

Yeah, I hear you...working with your team mates is for smooth-brained chumps. Not like us 100x engineers.

Not many startups doing novel things these days.
