Yes. Yes yes yes yes. That's exactly how I feel how. There are some great people in that industry, but the culture that is the Silicon Valley, to me, is insulating and way too self-congratulatory and out of touch with reality. Few things are more irritating to me than somebody who buys into that culture going on about the moral righteousness of whatever they're working on and spewing out nonsense instead of doing actual work.

I realize that the show Silicon Valley is very satirical, but I still dislike it for the reasons above.

I find Mr Robot a lot closer to tech nerds then Silicon Valley.
