There Are Sick Unicorns Out There
I used to work in downtown Palo Alto near the Hewlett Packard garage. The birthplace of Silicon Valley they called it! The beauty of it is it’s really not that impressive.

The reason I bring it up is that there is a famous quote from one of the garage’s workers, titan David Packard, reflecting back on the meteoric growth of his time period where he said “more companies die of indigestion than starvation”.
