I don't think computer nerds are needed (I've worked with plenty of very good people who don't write a single line of code out of work), but I have noticed a huge uptick in people who are in the space for the money. Nothing wrong with treating work as a place for money, but the hustler mindset combined with being an annoying 22-year-old twerp is exhausting.
Please go back to fighting over finance and consulting jobs, people. Please. I know my salary is inflated thanks to the dynamics that also bring in these people, but I really would like to avoid working for people whose choice matrix is "finance or startups".
