"In the ’90s, you had a lot of people entering the [tech] scene who came from other places—by which I mean they’d actually read a novel that wasn’t Tolkien, they’d actually been to a museum and not just seen really bad CGI art, they had truly diverse backgrounds. I see much less of that now. You see people who started coding when they were in fifth grade, that’s all they’ve ever done, and they have no context or background to frame the other things they hear." https://slate.com/technology/2026/09/cyberselfish-come-back-paulina-borsook-silicon-valley.html
