An excellent Tumblr post breaking down that Vanity Fair interview: http://jesuschristsiliconvalley.tumblr.com/post/46539276780/...

I never caught the [case] thing. Amazing.

Silicon valley now rivals Hollywood at creating entitled, pampered douchebags. Thank you that anonymous blogger on tumbler at so skillfully capturing that in one brilliant work of deconstruction.

What a sad state we find ourselves in. The past decades were by no means free from such poisonous personalities (see: Tyco), but we seem to have reached a whole new level. I guess humility doesn't pay the bills anymore.

In his defense, he probably said 'back' because he has a skin like this [1]. I wouldn't call that a case, either.

"In his defense"

Looks like you missed the best part.

I feel I'm beyond the age where I can get away with saying/writing things like

"Almost every line is something I want to print out, frame and then take a shit on"

but by golly if it isn't entertaining to read someone else do it.

You can say anything when you're anonymous and don't have any repercussions to deal with. (like this tumblr is)

That interview can't be real. Surely he was satirically making light the whole bro-grammer meme? Right? Hard for me to believe you can condense so much "douchiness" without it being in jest and intentional.
