i thought this to be a useful critical reminder!
Silicon Valley needs to understand tech celebrity is no different than
Hollywood on Capitol Hill. Everyone’s star-struck, but there’s always
another celebrity or foreign dignitary coming around the corner.
Washington’s power dynamics aren’t built around valuations,
acquisitions or innovation. They’re built on adjudication, legislation
and donations, all of which are part of a long, deliberative process.
Let go of the ‘open data, open source’ movement will solve all of
democracy’s problems mentality, because it won’t. Ingratiate yourself
to the public servants, and not just to the newborn CIO/CTO rock stars.
