Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

The tweet before that:
This says more about you, the scale of the project, bad organisation of your group, and the lack of challenge of Berkeley (nice namedrop though) group projects, and the failure of understanding the excersize (the goal is to learn how to work as a group and notice the networking problems), and the goals of being at a university (networking, partying and learning) than anything else.
Hell I know of a project that also did this and they didnt manage to rewrite the project, as it actually took a lot of time.
“Hey guys, I’m cool because once I completely fucked up everything and now I’m taking credit for the work of someone else!”
What a loser, goddamn.
To be fair - even though this asshole doesn't deserve fairness - that tweet is very obviously giving full credit to Akash (whoever that is) and not to himself. He's admitting a huge blunder but he's not taking credit for the fix.
This is fair, but I always read these things as basically name-dropping.
