THE BLOG POST THAT WILL RUIN THE MOOD OF NATHAN KONTNY, THE INKLING MARKETS CTO.
Rails Is A Ghetto.
This is exactly what makes Rails a ghetto. A bunch of half-trained former PHP morons who never bother to sit down and really learn the computer science they were too good to study in college.
Does Adam Siegel of Inkling Markets exist really?
Or is he a virtual avatar of Nathan Kontny, the original Inkling founder?
And can he read English? On June 8, 2007, and more recently on August 29, 2007, I have highlighted that there’s a historical error (among other improprieties) on their Inkling page. The Iowa Electronic Markets was created in 1988 —not in [...]

Are Nathan Kontny and Adam Siegel of Inkling Markets being EXPLOITED by Paul Graham’s Y Combinator? THE ANSWER.
Adam Siegel (Inkling Markets CEO):
Chris,
We have been asked this many times. Really what it comes down to is a group’s financial situation and comfort level with getting in to the deal. It’s true yCombinator doesn’t give much money, but they also don’t take a big equity stake in the company either. We’re “boot-strapping” the company [...]
Are Nathan Kontny and Adam Siegel of Inkling Markets being EXPLOITED by Paul Graham’s Y Combinator?
Chris Law:
[...] [C]ompanies that Y Combinator is funding are at a 60x discount to what a VC is funding companies at. [...]
Sudhir Jha:
I am also a big fan of Paul’s writings and Y combinators’ concept in general but this model seems to exploit the entrepreneurs. Paying $2000 for living expenses and giving only 3 months [...]
