The last couple rounds on this have talked about experience at startups but they neglected to go into the value of that experience. From the startup side, people will say the experience is valuable and what they mean is the experience of getting to make more technical choices and experiencing what it is like to have to make compromises to get something shipped in an early stage company.<p>So the startup people talk about experience in the context of assuming you will also want to do a startup.<p>The author of this piece kind of ignores the value of having to make those difficult choices in the face of shipping something. But that value is only towards actually starting a company. It&#x27;s not nearly as valuable at a large company.<p>So that bias shows through in the writing although I agree with the rest of it. It&#x27;s just a tiny argument towards the value of startup experience that in context for some people does have immense value while for others it is negligible.
