There is no simple answer to what I think.

Gray hats are the ones who think they're doing good, but they're not. You learn that when the FBI shows up on your doorstep.

You just keep pushing yourself harder and harder to achieve more and more - I don't think it's ever quite as glamorous as it appears on the outside.

The market is ridiculously overcrowded with early stage investors. This results in a talent drain, where the best talent gets diffused and work for their own startups.

Little startups are ridiculously overfunded.

Facebook isn't helping you make new connections, Facebook doesn't develop new relationships, Facebook is just trying to be the most accurate model of your social graph. There's a part of me that feels somewhat bored by all of this.

Look: There's good creepy and there's bad creepy. Today's creepy is tomorrow's necessity.
