I am by no means rich.
I live a very comfortable life and for that I am thankful. I still work hard because I enjoy my industry and the lifestyle it affords me. I have a wonderful family and a large group friends that we’ve known for a long time, some of them more than 30 years.
In our community there are many, many people who are everything that Haie pretends to be. None of them behave like he does as it’s universally frowned upon. Every now and then you get the guy who gets in way over his skis at the Christmas party or Member/Guest, but they’re usually corrected in short order.
I guess what I’m saying is that it’s incredibly easy to see the imposter in the room because he can’t ever stop telling you to look at him.
You’re a liar, haie. The question you need to ask yourself is why do it here? I’ve got the answer if you want me to share.
Take care of yourself, little buddy.
I've explained myself several times.
I never said I was rich, I am staunchly middle class/upper middle class but when you make good choices such as buying your starter home as a bank repo, fixing it up, using your entry level salary to pay everything off, not by new cars and new dumb shit every other year, and then you elevate to an executive salary in a cheaper cost of living area with no debt, I mean that's just cause and effect. Then buying more property to rent out instead of chasing every dumb fuck thing everybody else is. Millennials could do all of this, most just chose not to.
Then you constantly err on in terms of comparing your minimal exposure to the Seattle tech scene to another situation you aren't professional equipped to even understand. I am not, and have never been in the "tech industry". It is not my domain and I never said it was. I worked my way up at a small self funded startup. I doubt you even know what that it is, understand the difficulty, and understand what it means when that succeeds. The owner and his family are not technical and failed several times at paying for an outside team, and so me and the other now-CTO have received an insane amount of accolades for building them something that took us out of the complete shit zone and into a successful medium sized e-comm business. You will NEVER get that opportunity at a traditional Seattle tech company. Rather than just pay ourselves more, we invest back into the company so that we don't have to work anymore. 1 or 2 crisis situations or enterprise requests a month at most.
I am not a liar, at all. You can keep calling me on all you want but we all know you're just upset and butthurt that every bomb that's been dropped on you has hit direct target. Fat loser Oregon alum that never even played sports and thinks that everyone that is happy with their wife's looks must be "lying".
Make better choices, little buddy.
