I was looking at some photographs of Silicon Valley people from 10-15 years ago, and it's amazing how happy everyone seems. Because no one in the outside world cared what we were doing.pic.twitter.com/IXLsITjwqL

Of course, but is it really the carpetbaggers and haters that are responsible for Silicon Valley’s loss of joy? Seems like most of it is the natural scrutiny that comes with success combined with the mindbendingly fast shift from 90s/00s era “cheerleader” tech press to today
Mostly, yes. If the carpetbaggers and haters disappeared and all you had weighing you down was the additional sense of responsibility, I think you'd probably still have, say, 80% of the joy of the early days.

How would you define "carpetbaggers and haters?" I have found more than a few SV folks who largely lump any critic into the "hater" camp. IMHO - The current environment is creating an "un-virtuous circle" where SV increasingly adopts a victimhood complex and critics --> haters
