This is all kinda sad really. The tech media is pathetic and the same publication "exposing" this unfortunate waste of space (who wouldn't have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of any company that had the self confidence to reference check instead of jumping on every potential hire who can name drop) is largely responsible for the phony tech-celeb culture that's invaded the valley in recent years. It's a serious business what we do here in Silicon Valley. Sure we can enjoy our work, but most of us are committing our lives and livelihoods to working hard at what we do. The trivial nature of the media covering the tech industry right now, the desperate need for people to feel they have some sort of celebrity cachet because of what we do, and the fact that too many people watched the Social Network and want to pretend that's their life, is just a sorry state of affairs. Word gets around about people like this. It's really not necessary to post an article on TechCrunch like you're exposing some mastermind criminal. Well I suppose it is if the generation of journalists currently staffing the tech press is really just taking umbrage that someone else with scant qualifications wants to run around the valley acting like they are somebody when they've not created anything themselves. Yeah, this article just reminds me of the sorry state of media coverage of our industry.
