also, don’t listen to these CEOs too much. they all are playing the valuation game.”

One wrote giving courage, “It is coming but mostly fomo, let them come after all we are humans we used to hunt down the deepest jungle to get our food and now we’re scared of a computer program because we won’t be able to buy 3bhk in prestige and 2 yearly trips. I mean capitalism has fucked us real bad. Also if anyone is hiring for SAP, dm as I’m getting underpaid.”
