“This sort of move—rewriting history to suggest she has always been critical of various firms or trends in Silicon Valley—is employed consistently throughout the book as part of a desperate effort to catch up with the critical consensus.”

We’ve been seeing – and you’re going to see – a lot more of this from the very same people who called those of us who challenged Silicon Valley when it wasn’t cool to do so “tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists” and blacklisted us from the web and dev communities.
And if you allow them their mea culpas, they will use whatever legitimacy they manage to claw back to do the exact same thing to the people speaking out on the issues that matter today. Then rinse and repeat come next decade. (2/3)
