I found the Garry Tan's gstack README to be too linkedin-ey. Used Kagi to translate to plain English, and opened a PR. Edit: [Link to translation on Kagi]( https://shorturl.at/oSiiJ ) -- shortened because Kagi stores text in the URL and it's massive.

This LinkedIn translator was a genius move by Kagi, honestly. A lot of people are incredibly tired not only of AI(-adjacent) writing, but overall of people with a stick up their ass thinking they're this generation's Aristotle. Having their slop written out in plain English really shows you how vain it all is.

This is how I find out that the CEO of YCombinator, and at the end of it all the person who ultimately rules over this very web-forum, has been the 10th employee of the very despicable Palantir Technologies. We had a related joke in the good old days of communism here in Romania, it goes like this: "Two Securitate undercover agents, unbeknownst to each other and while queuing for buying bread early in the morning, start making jokes about Tovarășul [Ceausescu], hoping that in so doing they'll make the other one acquiesce into saying bad things about Tovarășul so that that would be reason enough for a political dossier. As the two Securitate agents were outdoing each other into saying more and more jokes about Tovarășul a third undercover Securitate agent, their boss, comes in and scolds them: 'A little bit more spread out, my boys, a little bit more spread out!'" The same goes with these Palantir and other related despicable companies' former employees, they should spread out a little bit more, it's becoming way too obvious.

Quote from the untranslated original: > when the founders were just one or two people in a garage Oh, that venerable Garage! Pops up every time when the founders try to conceal their wealthy familiy ties or other inconsistencies between tales and reality. Some folks even believe that this "garage" must be read as "masonic lodge" :)

Obligatory "why is this flagged" post.
