Just look at this video recorded only in 2013 and see how relaxed people were back then. Okay, I'm not defending that image either, but now everything is so serious. Did you get into YC? Are you a Harvard graduate? Do you have a PhD in AI? Do you have amazing traction? No? Then get out.

@roundrock2023 It definitely is a lot less nerdy and a lot more hustle-y now. All the big money over the years changed the culture around it.

@fionar It’s because it’s “cool” to be an entrepreneur and there is money now so not just geeks are into it
