I like the articles comparison of the valley's belief in serendipity and hallway conversations to Feng Shui. Some folks think it's absolutely critical, but others in the same space.. don't see it. Been in the industry for 15+ years and the "important hallway conversation" thing just doesn't seem to matter all that much? I see the point if an individual's main contribution is talking to people and schmoozing. But that is individual, not business value either.
