Why Can’t Silicon Valley Take a Joke? -- Daily Intel

"But none of those populaces share Silicon Valley’s thin skin, or its insistence on its own superiority.

It’s an industry filled with the ministrations of tech evangelists like Jack Dorsey, the Twitter co-founder who, at a conference this summer, told a group of tech entrepreneurs — with a straight face — that their work was comparable to the lives of Gandhi, the Founding Fathers, and the revolutionaries at the Bastille.

Have you seen "Breaking Amish."

People watch Drama/TV shows for the characters; so, of course, there will be character arcs, romances, breakups, and fights. That's why we watch. The setting really doesn't matter; silicon valley, amish people, jersey shore, housewives.

I'm not sure why people try so hard to not understand this? LOL
