Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

lol, poor helpless joanne just can’t help but run headlong into the wall
saw something drift by that she’d also deleted a bunch of tweets in the quiet time, so her coming out swinging is doubly funny
I mean, does she actually write books anymore? Or is she a full time TERF now? Because that's a direct conflict between what's in her legal best interest and in her professional best interest.
Why not both? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubled_Blood
Her professional interest would be to shut the fuck up and just live in her castle, forever rich beyond measure. She could never write another thing in her life and she'd never run out of money anyway.
one would think so, but as of a month or two ago she's announced another book
@froztbyte @techtakes Speaking as a working writer: she's a hobbyist writer. At this point she's so rich she could spend £100K/week of her capital and still be a multimillionaire when she dies aged 100+. A novel typically takes a year to write and even JKR is unlikely to make significantly more than £100K from a book (unless it gets filmed). So she keeps writing for ego/self-esteem but not from necessity (to stop writing would leave a hole in her life).
