Congratulations Garry! Your blogs were my inspirations when I was running my startup. I always remember this line:

“The ideal startup team involves really two major roles — builder, and hustler. I used to say it took three roles (designer, engineer, hustler).....In reality, I think designer / engineer can be abstracted to builder”.

> The extreme left in SF politics (which in SF = the Establishment).

???

kind off topic, but I am curious what other people in SF think about this statement. I don't live there, but I find it surprising and dubious that the extreme anything is also "the establishment", not saying it's not possible but seems unlikely to me.

My guess is: the administration controlling North Korea would be considered by many to be extreme (left, right, you pick) but in North Korea they are the establishment.

So too in SF, outside of cali they would be considered extreme (left, right, you pick) but in SF they are the establishment.

Not passing judgment on whether that’s right or wrong just saying that’s what that line could mean.
