This was a very charming post! I clicked through and found myself reading another 8 blog posts from this person, and I concluded that this is the kind of person I think I'd like and like to work with. They appear to be an intern currently and probably will be looking for full-time work soon. (open hint to anyone looking to hire, this seems like a person I'd personally want to work with but alas am not in a hiring manager/recruiter position).

And, for what it's worth, I personally think Silicon Valley just gives a microphone to egomaniacs, which is different from turning charming tech people into egomaniacs. Zuck didn't need fame/money to produce Hot or Not. The quirky people I knew in college doing cool things are still doing quirky, cool things.
