Look at how these big silicon valley FAANGs and all the competition trying to emulate them hire. They shoot for kids coming right out of college and then do their best to make their life cushy and happy enough that they never question the situation.

They're drinking the Kool-Aid because the companies give them just enough of the real stuff. Obviously this isn't true for everyone and there are people in the industry there who learn over time, but there's just too many people in the region who believe in the propaganda.
