I've worked in Silicon Valley for the last 10 years, both as entrepreneur and investor, and I have rarely encountered the bad behavior described in this article. In my experience, the success stories are primarily by hardworking, modest, highly intelligent people who see an opportunity and just go to work on it for a long time. That said, I'd imagine that a reporter is constantly exposed to the bad apple "bros" who view Silicon Valley as a get-rich-quick, fake it til you make it process. And by extension, this is what most of the outside world sees. After all, what's interesting or noteworthy about a bunch of people just working hard for a long time? To bring it full circle: I've had a slightly (but not overly) negative view of Wall Street to date, but now I'm curious as to whether it was a similar story there. I feel like there is inherently more value in people building technology and companies than in buying and selling financial products, but I'm obviously biased.
