A Cynics Guide to Stanford (Or: Majoring in Unicorn)

Particularly cringe-worthy quote from the article, from a Stanford student:

"There were probably one in ten or maybe one in five people at Stanford who are really interested in technology, who were doing it for reasons that I would consider pure... the remainder were strictly in it to get rich and 20 years ago would have worked on Wall Street."

Le sigh.

I don't know if it is just me but pieces like this just make me angry at the culture that surrounds SV. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to read this kind of thing even if they are trying to be tongue and cheek about it.

because like the old wall street, it all seems to be about the $$$.

boba tea? ohhh, bubble tea.

Wacky but well done piece. heh
