TLDR: writer with "a bunch of half-baked ideas" whose plan is to "pitch a tech startup and get obscenely rich while writing a book about how to pitch a tech startup and get obscenely rich – the Silicon Valley way" moves to "Hacker Condo" in San Francisco, conflates it (SoMA) with Silicon Valley, does other cliche tech bro things, namedrops an incoherent sequence of tech brands (Soylent, TaskRabbit, and then LifeHacker??), claims startup communities such as Hacker News are shovel merchants, reminds us that "profit-hunger, philistinism and misanthropy are and always have been at the core of the enterprise" and concludes "new breed of Silicon Valley billionaires knew exactly what they were doing. The plan was to take all the money and run – to Mars, if necessary"

This is what the author had to say about job security for programmers:

many programmers who had “made it” in Silicon Valley were scrambling to promote themselves from coder to “founder” ... the programmers knew that their own ladder to prosperity was on fire and disintegrating fast. They knew that well-paid programming jobs would also soon turn to smoke and ash, as the proliferation of learn-to-code courses around the world lowered the market value of their skills, and as advances in artificial intelligence allowed for computers to take over more of the mundane work of producing software.

This seems to be a plug for their book "Live Work Work Work Die: A Journey into the Savage Heart of Silicon." Here's one of the Amazon reviews and I quote, "If you don't have any ideas and can't succeed, write a book about it"
