All while insulting the actual businesses and San Franciscans they want to imitate at every turn.
"Now the tower’s largest tenant was a website that allows anonymous semi-literates to post critiques of local establishments."
"there were not enough applicants to fill all the openings for “Java Legends, Python Badasses, Hadoop Heroes”, and other gratingly childish classifications describing various programming specialities."
Very classy.
Although I must say, I have noticed that there is a great deal of Silicon Valley hate in many places in Europe.

There is a lot of mistrust of some companies because of privacy (Google, Facebook, Twitter) and market disruption (Amazon). But SF appears popular as a tourist destination and I haven't heard of anyone here in Europe hating SV as such. I think Wall Street still has a far worse reputation than SV.
- newfoundglory 9y agoHow are those quotes insulting? Maybe if you came up with the term "Hadoop Heroes" and thought it was amazingly clever?
