The truth is that computer programming skills are a commodity and that the silicon valley culture is no longer relevant to big problems. The world has moved on, the same way it has moved on from industrial and agrarian economies. These silicon valley folks are as desperate and clueless about solving todays big problems as the corporate people were about solving the big problems silicon valley sprang up to solve. Getting them to understand is like yelling at water not to flow downhill.
