Appreciated, but I'm not sure if that would be popular🙂

People want to read books about how to "win" at capitalism, not how it utterly breaks you and everything you held dear over the course of your life.

I doubt anyone would even be willing to publish it.

I'd consider writing one if people were interested though. I've done it all at this point pretty much. Climbed up and down the ladder of tech and business two or three times over. I've spoken at huge tech conferences, worked for startups, enterprises, mid tier, tech, non-tech, etc. I've owned my own companies, built startups with friends, with foreign investors, and more.

All it's taught me is that I need to go live in the woods alone until death comes.

The best conference I went to was called FailCon. Nothing but speaker after speaker getting up and talking about how their startup had failed. Learned more there than all the bragfests combined.

Just sayin'.
