I recently watched Mountainhead with a friend. While it wasn’t spectacular, it was mildly funny. Having spent 30 years in the belly of the Silicon Valley beast, I was struck by something: the film is meant to be a parody—an over-the-top comedic critique of how perverse the lives of ultra-wealthy “tech bros” have become. Here’s the thing: having been in the room with some of these characters in real life, the portrayals didn’t seem all that exaggerated. Maybe a little, but not by much. That’s where we are now.

In the early ’90s, the nerds still largely steered the tech world. It wasn’t until after the dot-com bubble and the rise of Web 2.0 that the MBAs and “tech bros” showed up—and, well, there went the neighborhood. That’s why I now call myself a “recovering technologist.” It was a bit shocking to see behavior I’ve witnessed firsthand depicted as over-the-top parody when, in reality, it’s not that uncommon, just not widely known. I could share conversations I’ve overheard that would make your hair stand on end—sobering stuff.

Anyway, if you’ve ever worked in Silicon Valley, I’d recommend the movie just for the buzzword-laden tirades, which, unfortunately, aren’t far from how some people speak.
