I feel the same way and part of this is the fact that I think the demographics of tech has changed. When I first entered SV around ~2006, I used to work with plenty of people who actually were interested in technology and were generally decent people. Fast forward today, everyone I work with are just savage try-hards who care only about money and fast advancement through the corporate ladder and they outcompete others using politics, backstabbing, and time. I think tech has just become a magnet for people trying to make $$$. Or maybe I'm just working at the wrong companies these days.
