I was looking in my old email account and enjoyed seeing the liveliness of communication in old comms from companies like HortonWorks, Firebase, Whatsapp. Firstly, I feel communications with recruiters is so cold now (e.g, hello, yes the interview works, ok you've been rejected/move on to next round) and two I feel like silicon valley eight to tweleve years ago was a much friendlier place. I don't feel the same appeal from startup names now as companies like Klout, etc. carried back then - maybe each company is working on a little smaller niche of the industry, maybe I've gotten too old to appreciate crypto, but it was nice seeing how enthusiastic, hopeful, and happy silicon valley was a decade a go.
