I love building Web products. Being a Product Owner.

How: By quitting every company after doing my maximum. I’m deeply sour, because many people around me succeeded younger at being recognized, generally because of ethnic or gender reason, but I had to walk away and I have succeeded in establishing my company and I’m the PO. I’m also the laundry guy, the accountant and the principal engineer with my 2-5 employees, but I’m still making half a million dollars, so it does seem that I was discriminated in companies compared to my abilities.

I wish I hadn’t a million dollars a year and I had a sense of belonging instead, and wasn’t sour, but such is life. I feel like Donald Duck.



Striking out on your own and being successful at it is impressive and congratulations for that. It doesn’t seem to be evidence to me in any direction about whether you were discriminated against in prior companies. The outcomes, whether good or bad, are concentrated when you own the company.


A judge would seek fact, intent and prejudice. Intent is largely here, explicit in company policies (“We need to help women achieve management positions” kind of thing) and national policies. Fact is here and prejudice is here.

I retain my judgement and will seek revenge against society. One should never implement an intentional policy of systematic discrimination. I will seek revenge.
