I have been so dying to see this!!!

I got this blog link Gervais Principle questioned: MacLeod’s hierarchy, the Technocrat, and VC startups via twitter.

It is a lengthy blog but once I started reading it I could not stop... there could be two reasons for it - one being I had landed myself in a really boring/not useful talk at a conference second it was worth reading... I go with the second. I am sure anyone who has worked in corporate world big companies will be able to relate to this.Reading most of the blog gives you a very grim situation maybe not all true (I hope). But feel free to make up your own mind. The last para resonated with me this is what I have been yearning for!!! Definitely worth a read and I like things that end well.

What I hope to see during 2013, and the coming years, is a Flight to Substance. I want the best people– investors, entrepreneurs, engineers– to realize that they’ve been hoodwinked by VC-istan’s shallow reinvention of the corporate system as something different and “cooler”, and to demand a return to Real Technology. I want to see better ideas, better companies, and better cultures. I want to see funding for research and development, so that people can do intellectually interesting work without being thrown into the secondary labor market that academia has become. I want to see a world in which people actually care about solving hard problems and delivering real value. When this happens, the Technocrats can win again.
