that for some people start ups are a fashion or a "thing to do"

This is true, and I was expecting the same sentiment from the post but it was not there.

And as far as startups being a "thing to do". As opposed to doing what else? Working for a big company? What pray tell would be better and more meaningful? It probably wouldn't be in tech.



What’s “meaningful” working for a VC backed startup? Once you take enough VC funds, you are working for multiple “big companies” who decide your fate. It’s an illusion that you are working for a small company.


No one said working for startups is meaningful.


From the post I replied to.

“What pray tell would be better and more meaningful? ”


That doesn't mean startups are meaningful.
