Less so, in my memory. Sure there was hubris. Sure there was conflict. But there was also a recognition that we were all small fish in a big pond. And there were still people around from when computing was an even smaller sliver of the economy, who tended me more "grounded" than anyone you'll see today. Now that computing companies are among the richest in the world, the mix of personality types within them has changed a lot and not for the better IMO.
