This isn't a reflection on Giles or the job or the company but
about a general trend.
What are people's opinions about IPO's and the enormous sums of
money involved?
I'm wondering if this is healthy. Certainly people deserve
considerable benefits, but aren't there downsides to this?
- creation of haves and have-nots
- are the sums involved in IPO's healthy for the ecomnomy
- loss of sense of community (maybe this sense was false anyway)
On the other hand:
- if fools are throwing their money around only a fool doesn't take it
- is it envy that belittles others success?
One interesting company that hasn't gotten venture capital, and
is profitable, and is free software oriented is ArsDigita. (They
are openly hiring too : http://arsdigita.com/ (Phil Greenspun seems
to be associated)
