> After the Netscape IPO...

The Netscape IPO happened 31 years ago. Over half of all Americans alive today were either in elementary school or not around yet.

It's the equivalent of someone in the 2000s trying to enforce standards and norms from the 1950s-60s.

The reality is, the tech industry has essentially always been like this, and any period in the 1980s or early 90s that y'all look back to just isn't actionable in 2026 and fails to understand how different Americans are today versus when you started in the tech industry.
