Sam Fried, the "tech crypto genius", admits he doesn't know how to code
Another non-tech fraud running a tech platform.
The fraud that is Silicon Valley, which is become more of a term of fraudulent “tech” companies than the birth of the tech boom in that region from San Jose to San Francisco, continues to be exposed as being lead by supposed geniuses and visionaries who, as it turns out, couldn’t engineer their way out of a paper bag.
The most notable is Mark Zuckerberg. It’s an open secret that he doesn’t know how to code, even though the movie “Social Network” made it seem like he does. Zuckerberg has done his best to perpetuate the lie that he’s a coder and contributed code to Facebook. Or Sergey Brin and Larry Page? Don’t make me laugh.
You can’t mistake coders and engineers. When technical discussions arise, they’re able to get into the weeds of the platforms and projects, and they leave little doubt of their skills. Listen to Linus Torvalds talk, or Brendan Eich.
Apple? Steve Wozniak was the tech brilliance. I’m a huge Steve Jobs fan, and he never attempted to lie that he was the engineering. Everyone knew he was the visionary/marketing guy with Woz as the engineer. With that said, Jobs knew more about tech than 99% of today’s Silicon Valley.
Take away the intelligence agencies and unlimited VC and the frauds are exposed, like flopping fish as the water recedes.
The fraud that caught my eye a few days ago was regarding Sam Fried. The narrative has been that he’s such a genius, and sure, he mismanaged some funds and was a little disorganized, but gosh, it’s because he’s so brilliant and was busy as the tech brains of the innovative platform.
Nope. He admitted that he can’t even code to indie journo Tiffany Fong:
He says it’s embarrassing, but he wasn’t embarrassed when he let the narrative perpetuate that he’s some tech guru.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet if you ever want to fool the “experts”, like Kevin O’Leary:
pronounce your ‘o’ as ‘oo’, e.g. “most” becomes “moohst”
exhibit zero grooming or care about your appearance
make it obvious that you don’t bathe
make sure you drive a modest car without calling attention to your $40mm penthouse
make sure at least half of your sentences are comprised of “uh” and “like”
under no circumstance have sex with hot chicks
If you can follow these steps, you can be pitched to tech companies for a CEO role by bankers like Michael Grimes:
He’s an “Ultra Genius”:
Another tech fraud exposed.
