Silicon Valley Is A Mindset, Not A

At Silicon Valley, I'm Extremely Sympathetic To The Revolutionary Response. I Not Only Agree With It Emotionally. I Agree With It Practically. And The Only Thing I Disagree With Is, I Don't Think Donald Trump Is That. Trump Is Blow It Up For No Good Reason At All. You Want To Actually Do Revolution With A Target, With An Idea, With Building A New System.

It's Like, Okay, We Did That, We're Moving Forward, Here We Go. And Then For The Employees That You Unfortunately Have To Let Go, Try To Provide As Much Support For Them As Possible.

The Actual, The Forming Of Ties With A Group Of People Around You Where They Help You Grow As A Professional, Solve Problems, Get Opportunities, And You Help Them, Is Actually The Constitutive Base Of The Foundation Of A Strong, Modern Career.
