You left engineers who think their command of technology makes them superior to all of these "recent" luddite invaders off the list. Your comment reflects the essence of what a large part of the article criticizes, an insular technologist culture that feels most of its ailments come from without. I agree that I've seen some of the folks you mention parading around, but have run into even more technology folks who think their hot new startup is far more important than anything else someone could be working on.
- ojbyrne 13y agoActually I agree with you somewhat, but in my experience a lot of what they're doing is trying to hype their thing, because that's the game they're playing. Underneath there's a huge amount of self-doubt. Whereas the people I'm talking about, underneath there's a huge amount of noblesse oblige.
