There were a lot of these industry insider, self-congratulatory articles floating around the media back in 1999. The only difference then was that the Sopranos was only in it's first season so it was not yet considered cool to do a photo shoot in which you posed as an organized crime figure.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
Articles like this make me think that the latest tech boom is already over. This is just a trailing indicator.

SpaceX is an obvious candidate, Sequoia is obviously doing very valuable things, Tesla Motors are successful outside of the ephemeral social networking world... I actually think it looks like these guys have incredible talents for creating value. Some of it could be foam, but most of it isn't.
- garbowza 19y agoEvery similarity between today and the tech bubble does not necessarily indicate we're doomed for a bust. There are self-congratulatory articles in nearly every industry (economics, sports, politics, etc), but that doesn't mean you're on the tail end of a bubble.
