SV is not filled with geniuses. It isn't even filled with genius coders. It is filled with good-enough coders that happen to work at companies that capitalize on their work very well. Sometimes, this goes to people's heads. "I make 400k, therefore I must be smart." They are wrong. Despite having lived in SV for a long time, I was never on Blind. Friends tell me about it. Blind really only is where people go to talk about TC and how much they hate their jobs, from what I hear - so don't be surprised that that's all you read about on there. Are tons of nerds bad at relationships? No doubt. Are very many people very greedy? No doubt. Especially those that sign up for an up that's focused on talking about TC in SV. I wouldn't put too much into it, except to calibrate what salaries are possible.
