This article is for subscribers only.
The tech world is all atwitter over accusations of arrogance. In an essay in the Wall Street Journal headlined “Silicon Valley Has an Arrogance Problem,” Farhad Manjoo decried the industry’s “superiority complex” and wrote: “For Silicon Valley’s own sake, the triumphalist tone needs to be kept in check.”
He probably intended his piece as a friendly warning, but not everybody in the Valley took it that way. (Just peruse the comment threads.)
