Nothing I said belittles the efforts of past Valley heroes.
As for it becoming cheaper to do a start-up now versus previously, well doh. That should not be an excuse to belittle today's start-ups as the author does so recklessly.

Studying the physical sciences is also more mentally taxing than coding PHP.
You make it sound like that is all a start-up is: some php code. Most successful start-ups are a lot more than php code.
Also, having to walk ten miles before we had a means of transportation was more taxing than taking cars. What are we gonna do about that? Attack the whole world for not having it as hard as when folks had to walk 10 miles?
