Not bad going, two ad-hominems and not a single rebuttal of my arguments.
Oh, and my mother is alive and well, thank you.
- j_baker 16y agoYou're right, I'm not saying that these don't happen. I'm saying that you're focusing on all the things that are wrong with the valley and ignoring all the good things about it. That's no better than being one of the people who pick out all the good and ignore the bad. Silicon Valley is a good place to live and work. Is it overhyped? Sure. But that by itself doesn't make it a bad place.
