I think its important to understand that Silicon Valley practices are not representative of societal trends. The examples the author uses are about going to a welfare office and interviewing for an administrative position at a cosmetology school. Just because one trend doesn't exist amongst a class of wealthy people in San Francisco doesn't mean it doesn't hold elsewhere.

So its fine to disagree with this article but I dont think that the experiences in the current tech age in Silicon Valley do anything to invalidate her experiences at welfare offices in the Mississippi delta.
