First, we need to understand why the 2010s may well come to be remembered as the great decade of magical thinking for Silicon Valley. — sense that Silicon Valley was the place that determined how the future was made. As it began producing original content in 2013, it applied a distinctly next-wave Silicon Valley ethos. So the bosses are using that moment to do what Silicon Valley wound up doing when its other big swings didn't pan out: squeeze labor. Personally, I'm hoping this one gets a Hollywood ending — and not the ending so many Silicon Valley start-ups got over the last 10 years.
