About the same time that Silicon Valley’s bullshit caught up with itself. It went from fake it until you make it to fake it until you’re caught. VC funding stopped being a means to an end and became the goal itself. Hard to produce with that mindset.
It went from being a cheap place for passionate nerds to innovate to an expensive place to try to make it big in tech.

You just can’t afford to try in Silicon Valley in the same way you can’t afford to give your art a go in New York.
