TLDR
It probably makes sense to write about where I come from for my first HN story. I have watched the tech world go from a place where almost all inhabitants were just about what you built and how you built it and how well, to a world where half or more are promoters, barkers and hangers-on of every stripe. Even the bona fide techies are under enormous pressure to self-promote. There are good and bad reasons for this current state of things. The good are the rapid development of new and useful technology and its democratization. The bad reasons are the rise and spread of the startup culture.via the TL;DR App
