Very interesting read. The article has a dead link to something Anton LaVey wrote called "NOT ALL VAMPIRES SUCK BLOOD!". I'm not a Santanist and had never read it before, but it's pretty spot on.

And now I know where the "energy vampire" from What We Do In The Shadows draws inspiration.

That reminds me of the old video from The Onion called "Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work" from '09.

"Invite your friends over to see if one of them can figure out this fucking god damned fucking time vampire."

That was the first time I heard the term "time vampire" and have been using it ever since. I don't think this tangent is fully off topic.

That seems to perfectly describe a lot of smaller startups.
