Great post. Seriously though, I think you could probably come out of the womb and feel left behind in the valley.

Keep up the good work.

I know how you feel as just another drop in the bucket as a twenty-something. There is definitely a lot of web entrepreneurship buzz, energy, and enthusiasm here at Berkeley ( and the rest of the bay area).

I love your commentary on the business people–it's so true. From their perspective: business people have all of their “great ideas” and just need a few minions (engineers) to carry it out. In other words, they consider the engineers as commodities. I see it here at Haas daily.

I'm glad I've got my technical co-founder/best friend already. If there is anything I have learned it's “let the engineer(s) design it”. In reality, the engineers are the “stars” and lowly business people like me are the “supporting cast”.

paragraph #5 is fighting words.
