So he gets to take other people's money, invest it and take a cut without actually, like, having to do any actual work, but he's getting ignored at parties?

Damn it, where the hell do I sign up?

How is this a tangent, or flamebait? I'm just pointing out that he's literally whining about a job I'd love to have and not seeing how lucky he is.

It's a generic tangent because it changes the subject to VCs in general. It's flamebait because it's snarky, inflammatory, and arguably also a personal attack. Everything I said in the other comment applies to your post as well, which is why I linked to it.

Posts like that aren't acceptable on HN, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on, we'd be grateful.
