    This article is depressing and disgusting, but not at all surprising having lived and worked in the SF tech scene. The conclusion is the best though “great companies don't spring magically to life when a nerd gets laid three times in a row” http://www.vanityfair.com/...

    Everyone, @emilychangtv's book is going to be BONKERS. An excerpt: http://www.vanityfair.com/... http://twitter.com/...

    This came across as vindictive and judgmental to me. Like how dare they use their wealth and power to get what they couldn't before...sex. http://www.vanityfair.com/...

    I am not at all familiar with the orgy part of Silicon Valley from @emilychangtv's book but I am looking forward to cringing at the comments on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/ ...

    I will not be clutching my pearls at the notion that people take drugs and have group sex. What grown ass consenting adults do is a-ok with me, so long as they aren't coercing those who don't want to participate nor hurting anyone who doesn't want to be hurt.

    This excerpt is so frank and centered in reality, from sources, the subjects and the author. It's so refreshing. http://www.vanityfair.com/... http://twitter.com/...

    This is all really well-written, appropriately skeptical, and reminds me of the glory years of Vanity Fair coverage. http://www.vanityfair.com/... http://twitter.com/...

    “The freewheeling sex lives pursued by men in tech—from the elite down to the rank and file—have consequences for how business gets done in Silicon Valley.” http://www.vanityfair.com/...

    I didn't think Silicon Valley could gross me out more than it does but here we are. http://www.vanityfair.com/...

    Silicon Valley bros have rebranded drug-fueled orgies among tech execs as a libertarian choice. http://www.vanityfair.com/...

    “This isn't Prohibition or the McCarthy era, people remind me; it's Silicon Valley in the 21st century.” Someone tell these people that sex was invented in 1963, ok. http://www.vanityfair.com/...
  • @vanityfair @vanityfair on x
    Among the Silicon Valley Technorati, drug-heavy, sex-laced parties are the new normal—but this mixing of business and pleasure, writes @EmilyChangTV, is forcing women entrepreneurs into an uncomfortable position http://www.vanityfair.com/...
  • @nicole_cliffe Nicole Cliffe on x
    Amazing how each generation manages not only to think they invented sex but also the idea that conventional morality is a con. http://www.vanityfair.com/...

    Accurate headline. This is so f**ked up. http://www.vanityfair.com/...
