Don't get me wrong that's not the only culture that Silicon Valley has. It also has an amazing culture of innovation, and much to be proud of. But there is also an actual problem whereby hype and PR and growth hacking often crosses the line into deception and fraud. It's a problem at Theranos, it was a problem at Zenefits, Uber has had issues, etc. It's an issue, and the original article here is trying to pretend that it's outsiders and fringe players. It's not, it's woven into the culture too.

Well you may be onto something.

Pushing for hyper growth above all else can lead to cutting corners. It's also a common mistake for inexperienced entrepreneurs to make.

Any way cheers!
