That depends on what kind of career you want to have--and if you want to contribute to the toxicity, or lessen it where you can. I don't claim that correlation equals causation, but at this point I am reflexively suspicious of coworkers who take Blind (or, for that matter, startup-culture Twitter or Reddit) seriously.

I generally recommend to juniors that they avoid those crab buckets and work on cultivating real networks with people they know. YM, of course, MV.
