The Nation: Silicon Valley is fully MAGA-Pilled - eviltoast

Seeing a sudden surge in interest in the “Tech Right” as they’re being dubbed. Often the focus is on business motivations like tax breaks but I think there’s more to it. The narrative that silicon Valley is a bunch of tech hippies was well sown early on, particularly by Stewart Brand and his ilk but throughout that period and prior, the intersection between tech and authoritative politics that favours systems over people is well established.

    Their description definitely fits my workplace. We just want to get our 40 hours of work done and sign off and spend time with our families. Stability is really important.

    Basically no juniors though, pretty much all seniors that are in their 30s and 40s.

    In my experience, the places that are real boys clubs are startups, since they tend to be filled with 20-something tech bros with no families or attachments.
