I always find it much better in these conversations to wait for Dick C to say something, and just say "I agree". In this I only mostly agree -- Obama irritates the tar out of me much of the time -- but I still agree.

I'm a big fan of Spoonerisms, so you're delong with a pro here.

Agreed Fred. My worry is that we're really seeing here is the market saying venture doesn't need to be as large an asset class any more, the companies being created and capital required don't warrant it.

That is another way of reading a shrinking exit market.

Oh sure, beat me up more for you having come up with the "unfair to rocks" crack. Damn you.

Yup, and that's sort of my point. I thought he was going the Portfolio
death-by-piecework-pay approach, rather than
bloggers-have-no-self-discipline. As always, heart attacks trump economics.

I generally agree. The piece is inflammatory and overdone, but my friend Matt at the Times is too smart to not know he was poking bloggers with sharp sticks.

That said, there is something to say for noticing the emergence of a piecework occupation where there is an economic incentive to produce 24x7, as well as immense pressure (on many) to stay hooked to newswires. No surprise that such a "job" has a tendency to burn people out.
