I respect your work, but you have to realize that what many companies were doing with their money was the financial equivalent of developing by SSHing into prod and editing a 50kloc index.php.
And when they got into trouble, they did not stop to asses their situation (possible 5-10% haircut, nbd), but went into full blown existential meltdowns. One minute crying and begging, next minute threatening. In fact, after reading too many Twitter posts of founders complaining, they don't even seem remotely aware that they can even do things differently and properly.
And let's not even get into the outrageous behavior of tech leaders like Sacks et all. This episode makes me embarrassed to be part of this industry.
