I grew up in silicon valley. My family worked in silicon valley since the military industrial complex days. I barely ever left here because people come here instead. And each day since, with the influx of people I've seen more nepotism, favoritism, racism, sexism in the valley. I've used the internet since a 14.4bps modem and the connections made increases but that's turned into noise while the signals decreases. I won a web design contest at 13 in whole other different country and I applied to YCombinator 6 times in a row since first read all of Paul Graham's essays in one sitting while hiding in a server room to avoid work and all I've ever thought was required is to avoid aging each year. I dropped out of college when I can't bother to sit still while someone is explaining to me things that don't matter while all I wanted to do was write more HTML and put up more websites and making things that people wanted. I've worked at big companies and small startups in all capacities but didn't get anywhere until learning to code myself during my nights and weekends off. I lived in San Francisco during the boom, the crash, and the boom again. And in the end all I want is to better organize, sort, filter, and amplify myself and people I care about with better technology. From my perspective this is my life. And I've only met a handful of people those espouse these things in the 20 plus years I've been here in the valley. Where are the rest of you hiding?
