Some folks in Silicon Valley are unhappy about a reality TV show that "captures the raucous reality of the tech industry," reports David Streitfeld for the NYT:
The series, which is now being filmed and is scheduled to be broadcast this winter, shows hard-partying youngsters vying to start companies in a frenzy reminiscent of the dot-com peak of 2000. It is a world where everyone seems to think that a good idea can lead to instant success and untold riches, because, after all, it has so many times before. It is a place where you feel like a failure if only one investor offers to finance you, instead of many begging to get in.
To illustrate why some entrepreneurs are so outraged by it, I'll leave you with this timeless quote from Trotsky.
"You may not be interested in America's dumbest TV productions, but America's dumbest TV productions are interested in you."
