@bitofhope@awful.systems the Californian Ideology is also a good read.

Thanks for that. Really sheds light on the land of contrasts that is San Francisco.

It's easy to forget just how recent the spillover of SV to SF is, and that these tech giants are somehow still viewing themselves as the same scrappy countercultural garage firms they were in the 70s and 80s.
