What I Would Do If I Ran Tarsnap

I'm reminded of this post by lionhearted: http://sebastianmarshall.com/the-genius-and-tragedy-of-patri...

For any that don't know better, Patrick has since made a lot more than $60k a year since he started consulting and running Appointment Reminder.

That would be a more apt comparison if this blog post hadn't been part of an ongoing conversation Patrick and I had been having with Colin, not all of which HN is aware of.

The knowledge that there's missing context, which was provided in some sort of back room inside-baseball hn-elites secret discussion to which I was not a party and will never be granted access, kind of makes me wish the article had never been posted in the first place.

"Here's my article - which you'll never understand, because you weren't there, because you're not cool enough". Great.

Oh FFS, there's enough good info in the article to just think about that, without getting all butt-hurt about in-groups and out-groups.
