Not always True. I'm in Boston and the Harvard alumni network is strong. You see connections all the time throughout various events and industries. For example, I'll meet someone in biotech (our state's largest industry) and talk about venture funding for his startup when he'll mention his friends from Harvard that can help get the right introductions.
- mmmpop 9y agoNot to question the authenticity of your comment but it feels handcrafted to piss off about 75% of HN (not me, necessarily!)
- tyrw 9y agoWhat is offensive about this? The fact that someone on HN went to Harvard?
- mmmpop 9y agoEnvy I'd guess? There are probably a lot of reasons that some people resent Ivy League grads, probably the whole "legacy" model. I get that, but I know plenty that were just talented and worked very hard to be there. Haters gonna hate!
- tyrw 9y agoJust an odd take to me. HN was started by a Harvard alum based on experiences in the Harvard Computer Society, so this should be the last place that's an issue...
- mmmpop 9y agoI feel like a lot of people think of the worst type of legacy freeloader when they hear 'Harvard Grad', not that it's right.
