#2The map doesn't show Silicon Valley
Re: This Is Silicon Valley
#3>The lack of diversity doesn’t stop at work — it permeates every aspect of life. Everyone wears Patagonia and North Face, everyone has AirPods hanging from their ears, and everyone goes to Lake Tahoe on weekends. And everyone talks about the same things: startups, blockchain, machine learning, and startups with blockchain and machine learning.
Superficial, much? This entire article sounds like a parody.

#4Meh. Extreme circumstances result in extreme behaviors. It's a story as old at time.

#5Weird flex, but okay.
But seriously, it’s hard to read “look how tough we have it” about getting a 6 figure job out of school. You didn’t get into Harvard. That’s not a life defining tragedy... hoping this is parody. The vast vast vast majority of the world works harder for less. We should be thankful, not weirdly bragging about how hard our childhoods were. Try Detroit or Bangladesh....

#6So moving away in the hopes that SV will magically get better while you're away?
Doesn't sound like a practical plan.

I think the author is making the opposite point: that having a 6-figure job out of school is cushy and anomalous outside of Silicon Valley

this is not parody. Perhaps you would be more sympathetic to the perspective of the OP if you were raising children here.
