Lambda the Ultimate

Hi all,

The article "Don't become a scientist" (http://wuphys.wustl.edu/~katz/scientist.html) started a long and interesting discussion on News.YCombinator.com/Hacker News: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=122106

Everybody there seems to agree with the general terms with the article... however, considering that the majority of the people there are startup people and not people who works at the academy, such vision on the subject could be very biased. So I wanted to ask what your opinion on the article is, considering that the target on this site is very different than the one at NYC.

Do you agree with it, and is the academy so severely hurt as shown in the article, or is your research experience actually different from it?

Sorry for my English, I'm not a native English speaker...

Best regards,

Hernan
