they aren't typically the focused, practical, cashflow positive in short order sorts of companies.
Maybe there’s not a correlation between people who commit to building that kind of company and the kind of people who will take funding to build and light a rocket.
I get the general impression that applying without knowing someone or being an advantaged class means it will be a complete waste of time to bother applying
The kind of person who might build a rocketship probably won’t be daunted by the idea of some random strangers’ rejection.
But to be clear startups aren’t for everyone and that’s ok.
Conventional businesses are ok too. Good luck.

I read it when it came out in a day or two.
Then I tried to read it again a few years later but my boy was about that age and I could not put myself through what reading it was taking out of me.

Character is good behavior when you can get away with bad behavior.
So yes and in an important way. Good luck.

Sometimes career tracks cease to exist…typists, secretaries, and in real time right now translators.

Yes, and because typists and secretaries were predominately women, it was not as uncommon as one might imagine for male executives to eschew personal computers based on their perception of gender roles.
I like to call it “keyboard cooties.”

From TFA
It's not a prototype. The Grid has been running for customers for five years. It already builds tens of millions of dollars of electronics a year. Across CircuitHub we've shipped more than 2.2 million boards, placed more than 150 million parts and served more than 26,000 engineers.

Right.
Plus if you can get someone on the phone there can be value in that.
And if a sales engineer comes out and sees your operation you might get more than a free lunch…

The first Circuit Hub link posted to HN was in 2013.

Those are fungible alternatives.
