I never said you hadn't started a company. I explicitly asked if you had—the opposite of assuming. Nothing in my comment assumed you hadn't.

Since you're unwilling to argue in good faith, we can resolve this.




> I explicitly asked if you had—the opposite of assuming.

It felt like a rhetorical question, because without waiting for my answer, you presumed to explain to me, "Building a company from scratch is way more work than climbing a corporate hierarchy", and then you doubled down, presuming to know "the observations of ~everyone".

What exactly was the purpose of your question, and what is your response to the answer "Yes"?


You didn't read his top-level comment about where he said he started a company, so it's actually you who aren't arguing in good faith.


"I automatically become CEO, CTO, etc., by starting my own company" is phrased like a hypothetical, not as a past tense action. I'd expect a founder to say they became CEO.
