The stereotypical startup dream hire is a 20-something with as little life as possible outside of computers. The one that’ll be happy working 14-hour crunch days for weeks on end sprinting for an ever-shifting target that keeps being 90% done for 90% of the time. The one you can make sleep under the table or please with a foosball table in the center of the room. The one where the company paying for dinner pizza is “awesome”.

I should know. I used to be that gullible and even take an odd pride in being up to the job. But it didn’t take long to catch on to the idea that packing a room full of these people was merely a crutch for shoddy management, lousy execution, and myths like “this is the only way we can compete against the big guys”. And you certainly need the latter if you’re trying to give turds wings, but how about just not trying to make crap fly in the first place?

That’s why I like working with the family man or woman. They come in as a cold bath of reality. When people have other obligations outside of work that they actually care more about than your probably-not-so-world-changing idea, the crutches are not available as an easy way out, and you’ll have to walk by the power of your good ideas and execution or you’ll fall fast and early. That’s a good thing!

Most family people within the middle class live in a social reality defined by the very basics (family, work, friends, culture/arts). Many of them are hard-working, creative people who want to do good unto others, but right now they constitute the segment of our population that's being exploited by financial interests. The very foundation to our current society (the middle class) is threatened and we have a duty to protect it.

Corrupt wants to recreate a stable, safe platform for family people in our society. The change begins here and now, by providing inspiration, education and a source for new values and ideals in an officially bankrupt age.
