There are plenty of homes for the status-hungry, be they startups or FAANGs. I'd hoped they'd get bored of tech and leave, but there's too much money around, and status doesn't really leave professions very quickly. I do think they've changed the culture though. Primarily thinking about the weird way devs treat the FAANGs of the world: devs from there are seen as uber-geniuses without even saying anything. It's like we all need to believe that is true to ensure that those places remain high status in our mind.
