> Communist Coffee Shop So you lived with shitty roommates... > If you don't know Git, you don't know shit ...you're applying to places that value a Linked-In-style "skills list" over talent... > If you have a Tumblr site you haven't updated in six months and you call yourself a programmer, you're an embarrassment to the language you claim to know. ...you think programmers actually use/pay attention to Tumblr... and your telling us that the Valley is fucked? The Valley is indeed pretty fucked, but for precisely zero of these reasons. The only actual problem you named was the extreme income inequality and lack of affordable housing in SF, but you didn't really go into any depth at all about it. These are your own personal problems that you're trying to abstract onto the Valley as a whole. Not all of us have shit roommates. Not all of us try to work at places that seriously ask us questions about our git aptitude before they hire us. Not all of us blog. And by "not all", I really mean "very few". Oh, and to go a little ad hominem/"constructive criticism" here, if you're really trying to make it as a writer... you need a lot more practice. I'm kinda gathering that this wasn't a polished piece, but... seriously. It just jumps back and forth between a number of completely separate topics with no connection, no narrative arc, and no concrete thesis. It's barely even readable in some places ("Tech Skills Still Pay the Bills" and "The Few and the Proud", especially).
