Ashamed to work in Silicon Valley: how techies became the new bankers
&quot;“You wake up, get the shuttle bus, go to the bubble of campus and order food via an app when you get home. You are not a citizen, just a bizarre leach who makes money,” he explained.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not sure I understand. The whole article is just describing literally anyone in any industry.<p>What people can&#x27;t seem to grasp is that tech in SF&#x2F;SV simply created a massive insular culture that doesn&#x27;t contribute to the culture that was previously there. It just took over ruthlessly. All previous artistic beauty that was in SF is just gone now and replaced with tech kids that get paid a ton and would rather spend it on cryptocurrencies and music festivals than participating in the city&#x27;s artistic scene.<p>Its no wonder at all why people don&#x27;t like tech people. Its not because they get paid a ton. Its just because they get paid a ton and have no care for anything that was previously there.<p>But I mean, its a tiny city and the city&#x27;s building regulations don&#x27;t do much in the way in helping with gentrification at all. Not sure what else could have possibly happened.
