The personification of "Silicon Valley" into some giant evil blob-like entity attempting to consume innocent, creative counter-revolutionaries undermines a perfectly awesome, but 100% non-unique to SV opinion: Technologists (and any industry with any modicum of power) can suffer from a bad case of hubris.
Is creative destruction real and good (most of the time)? Yes. Is your startup selling SGaaS (scuba gear as a service) going to radically impact the disinherited and the poor? No. Is there anything new under the sun?
Still, the criticism of the author is received: More humility from the collective "we" of SV wouldn't hurt.
