It only conjures up the image of a young guy with slicked back hair in an expensive suit talking about models and bottles because that was the most apt caricature of the investment bankers in, e.g., Manhattan. In SF, though, it's going to start conjuring up images of the coder typing on a Macbook in a coffee shop while casually dressed, talking about his startup ideas. Those are superficial differences. You know what actually matters? Whether he will defend the reputation of a whistleblower in the face of power. Whether he will fight when he finds out that women are getting paid 15% less in his company. Whether he'll push hard for an environment that prevents managerial abuses. That's the shit that matters, not whether he wears a hoodie vs. a suit. On the serious moral stuff, the modern incarnation of Silicon Valley is just so fucking conventional and submissive to authority that, as far as I'm concerned, it has forfeit its right to live.
