Although I genuinely miss Valleywag and all the absurdity that it covered (e.g. Clinkle), I'm not sure if this is a fair critique of startup culture outside of having the excuse to say the F word a lot. As someone living in San Francisco, I can say that there are more to startups and startup culture than the stereotypes seen in Medium thought pieces and the Hacker News front page, although given the end of this particular Medium thought piece, that may be the point.

Am I... on your lawn? I'm on your lawn, aren't I? I should get off, shouldn't I...

"Get off my lawn" implies some curmudgeon against newness and progress.

Doesn't say anything for people against things that legitimately suck though.
