  I'm tempted to say "In a van?" but actually I don't understand your question.

    I'm tempted to say "with a ouija board." More seriously, this article makes a strong argument in the affirmative for the second footnote in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24070333 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24070333 namely, that Silicon Valley allows talent from all over the world "to join, to belong, really to be equal, not just legally equal, and, above everything, to share, to struggle, and to work under conditions of heroism for a common goal."

    Hah, I was thinking that the article was such an excellent piece of writing by someone so prominent, commenting on it is like performing on stage after Elvis. That article really does capture the origin of a lot of tech company culture well. Grove's books were required reading for managers at a couple of companies I was at. The article should be part of any CS syllabus to understand the culture that produced the tech we have today.
