And then Facebook goes public and even secretaries are suddenly multi-millionaires.

If it's any consolation to you, several of the most insufferable ones I encountered back in my heyday went completely nuts and the money they made is now being used to care for them.

Maybe I'll start "www.ShittyFoundersList.io" so people can pseudo-anonymously share their experiences with these crackpots.

Well there used to be a website fuckedcompany.com that they had to take down that said most of it.

Trouble these days is tech is mostly on the decline in the Valley and most other places and the ideas are mostly shit - so you end up with pricks whose sole purpose in life is to suck startup money and then leave a mess. Even some of the VC's have been leaving town. If that is happening you know things are not good. Commodity tech has killed hardware mostly, and software is not faring much better. I would go so far as to say you are better off in Austin.
