&quot;Blogging 140 characters at a time&quot; was considered a stupid idea.<p>I struggle with this <i>all the time</i><p>I try to put myself in the shoes of VCs hearing AirBNB, Uber, Twitter and other pitches. I&#x27;m pretty sure I wouldn&#x27;t give them money. (and then, I would post on HN saying &quot;How I missed AirBNB. Including email threads with the founders and beating myself up).<p>This is indeed the premise of VCs but even with that in mind, some startups being funded are just ridiculous.
