Re:Uber Co-Founder Travis Kalanick Said to Plan Sale of 29% ... by jekrk92929 on Friday January 05, 2018 @10:56AM (#16079346)
He built a company with a culture of theft, harassment, graft, hubris...

He spent his time building THAT place I just described

Besides, ride shares isn’t that novel. The math exists. The market itself already exists! It’s just poorly managed

He found rich people to invest in “doing it at scale in the cloud.”

I don’t really give credit for outcomes that anyone with a bachelors in math, and web dev skills could come up with conceptually if not scale

The trickiest bit is getting money and navigating the administrative shitshow that is our society. But that’s easy when you just bribe ...pay... sycophants to do it

He even said himself he has a lot of growing up to do. No need to defend him as simply misunderstood

I don’t really give props for his accomplishments. He lived a contemporary life and got handouts from vultures who saw $$$ while looking at Travis
