On Valley Life and the Bid to Open Up AI Finance Magnates

I wasn't planning to chip in this time, but I stumbled upon an article so compelling I felt I ought to. Uncanny Valley, published by Anna Weiner on N 1 Magazine, is a short literary piece which lives up to its title. Weiner's nameless narrator is going through most commonplaces of the Valley, both physically and mentally, without really being a part of it. "I learn the bare minimum, code-wise, to be able to do my job well -- to ask questions only when I'm truly in over my head," she confesses. She is going from being the start-up's inaugural customer support rep to become a "success manger", a title so corny for her she can't stand having it on her email signature.
