@mtnygard somehow, knowing he's a famous VC doesn't change my perception of him one iota from reading his blog...

@tastapod @mtnygard That perception being he's an ass? You have read bhorowitz.com/2012/04/25/our…, right?

@stilkov I actually think it's bad business to ditch someone with history in the org - the cost of replacement is often hidden

@tastapod It's also one of the reasons our company is privately funded :-)

@stilkov I agree the skills and business acumen to go from $0-$10m are different from $10m-$100m. That wasn't the point though.

@tastapod I think we interpreted the point differently. You see it as undervaluing people; I see it as making a tough decision that's needed

@logosity @tastapod Yeah, having read a few more (e.g. bhorowitz.com/2012/08/18/a-g…) I guess I'll join the "he's an ass" coalition
