        The person whose tweet you screen capped and posted here. The Y-combinator asshole we have to blame for Reddit, Twitch, Instacart, Airbnb, Dropbox, Heroku, etc., he's one of the five people who bear the most blame for the current white supremacist and misogynist culture in tech.

        I'm sure you can find other shit if you dig deep enough. Just the essential example of the mediocre gen-x white guy that got a lot of money from financiers to write awful software then became one of those financiers and clearly thinks that means his opinions are important.

        This tweet is such a great example. Comparing two entirely different aerial views as if they say something meaningful. The worst part is he's not wrong, Atlanta is awful for sprawl and dedicating obnoxious amounts of space for cars. But comparing the border of the urban core with the exact center of another city's urban core is nonsense.

        He’s a software developer and the founder of Y Combinator, a startup accelerator that funded companies like Dropbox and Airbnb.
