  • “Tech bros reinvent trains, but worse” makes perfect sense if your end goal is to grift people.

    Everyone knows what a train is, and any investment firm will be able to understand the material, land, and labor costs because all of that is well known and documented.

    When you have an idea that no one has ever done before, then the costs get nebulous. Getting funding turns into a marketing problem, and thats a lot easier when the person paying doesn’t know exactly what they’re getting. Every investor wants to be on the ground floor of the next major innovation, and your job is to convince them that’s what this is.

    This makes perfect sense to me.

    At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

    Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

    Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.
