  > Nobody was willing to work on his team because he was so rude. I don't doubt this, but how much of this is the same exact thing we see of his current persona, which tends to have no tolerance for the BS Silicon Valley 'wokeness' and general softness with the Ivy league/Stanford CS types that generally are the rank and file and lower tier devs in most FAANGs? I ask, because as a Californian that remembers the SV of the late 80s and 90s I felt utter disgusted by what it had become in the min 2010s when I moved there for a Summer wlaunching my startup and realized in the first week that what it had become was a massively distorted perversion of it's former self. Money served as much as an insulator to keep their norms fixed and provided as a (compromised?) barrier of entry, as much as anything else, but somehow it was effective enough to negate the obscene amount of human misery due to massive homelessness and wealth inequality you see on every corner.
