The technology industry sees itself as in rebellion against corporate
America: not corrupt, not buttoned-up, not empty. In fact, a tech company
can be as corrupt, soulless, and empty as any corporation, but being
unprofessional helps us maintain the belief that we are somehow different
from Wall Street.
