I’m some sort of off-brand late comer Scots Canadian so my opinion is essentially alien and invalid to people like you but I’ve got to ask:
Why does the incestuous name dropping qualify anyone especially?
Peter Thiel is expressly trying to (and vocally so) speed run everything into the apocolypse and is very worried about the anti christ (apparently). He’s also running a massive surveillance dragnet and wants power and money above all. Again, his words.
How in the global fuck does working for or being awarded by a person with those ambitions qualify anyone for anything?
You may as well have said they attend church every sunday as their qualification.
If you said, well he has spent 10 years developing high availability systems and invented novel algorithms or implementations for managing high volume data flows or something then maybe there would be something to talk about.
But I’ve seen baby faced juniors elevated to senior and management roles and bungle them SO badly that it alienated all the actual engineering talent again and again because they were little more than virtual blood boys.
It sounds more like this latter scenario is the most likely.
Its just all goddamned hype men and their blood boys up and down this grotesque beast of what was once an industry.
With those words you don’t work in an industry, you serve a new segment of technolords and their only goal is to eat everything.
