"How on earth can Randi Zuckerberg — who saw the angst over that movie by the people it affected most — sell herself out to Hollywood’s desire to make Silicon Valley look like, as the pilot says, “high school”?"

Angst?

LIFE is like high school. Popularity matters. Schmoozing and getting along with people matters. Achievement matters, but less so than social skills. College is arguably somewhat more a meritocracy, but 'real life' reverts back to being more like high school than college.

I don't say that as a bad thing, but I had to do some mental adjustment once I had that realization.
