Good article about the bullshit startup culture in San Francisco by Anna Wiener over on n+1.
But we see now that we’ve been swimming in the Kool-Aid, and we’re coming up for air. We were lucky and in thrall and now we are bureaucrats, punching at our computers, making other people — some kids — unfathomably rich. Anna Wiener, “Uncanny Valley”
It’s a good read, and captures a lot of what makes me uncomfortable/unhappy about the Bay area and the tech scene here.
