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.

Not to make too hot a take, but Casablanca is a really good movie.

Actually, I kinda want to say more than that.

It's a movie about a guy who has grown cynical from years of anti-fascist action, though he's bit tsundere about his allegiance. In the end he chooses to bear the jealousy over his lover and abandon his life of convenience and comfort to fight for what's ultimately right.

It's a movie that resonates all these decades later, forgoing easy answers for a real stance. And it's amazingly quotable.

Also remembered this video essay about it.
