I moved to SF in the midst of the dot-com boom, looking for a job writing, only to soon find myself working at a dotcom. For those who didn't live it, it's hard to explain how much money was floating around and how arrogant many "dotcommers" were and how many oozed an entitlement to IPO riches. The crash was in some ways a relief for many, who then pursued careers they really wanted. It was a complicated time, and we're in another one right now. I just hope the newest wave of dotcommers - who thankfully include way more programmers and fewer smarmy bizdev guys -- finds a way to avoid feeling entitled.
