Comments on: Are tech workers back to a 9-to-5 existence?

The paycheck is about to become Silicon Valley's hottest commodity, and the key to its resurgence.

Whoa, a business plan that shows that you eventually make a profit?! Is that allowed in Silicon Valley?

The sad thing is that the Valley has been so focused on popularity (downloads in open source, eyeballs in Web 2.0) that it largely forgot that money had to change hands for it all to be self-sustaining. Now we get a wake-up call, and I think it will be good for the industry.

Cash is kind? Do you mean cash is king?

[Matt Asay]

I did indeed. Thanks for catching that. But I suppose it *is* kind, too. :-)

Matt - it is a good thing indeed but it is part of a cycle that has been repeated before and will be repeated again.
