"...he rebuilt Yo's backend. He's baller."
That might be the most cringey opening quote I've ever read for an article. Straight out of Silicon Valley (the show). The only explanation I can come up with is that the reporter knows nothing about tech and the kid was trolling her.
- edgyswingset 11y ago> Straight out of Silicon Valley (the show) What's great is that the show doesn't need to make anything up. I'm not surprised if teens in the area speak like that.
- jacksonfall 11y agoThis is, by far and away, the most accurate representation of our day to day life. A lot of people featured in the article aren't taking to well to it either, but for pretty obvious reasons. Personally, I think this kind of transparency is necessary. We might live in a fairy tale, but there are truths to be found in the harsher realities.

- muglug 11y agoPerhaps the 19-year-old, like many 19-year-olds, doesn't have much in the way of self-awareness. The reporter (Nellie Bowles) has been covering Silicon Valley for a number of years, most recently for Recode (she wrote a great series of articles about Zappos' attempt to revitalise Las Vegas). She knows whereof she speaks.

- sliverstorm 11y agoSpeaking of the show, I have a new appreciation for the Bro app it features.
