They all went to MIT: Madarchod Institute of Technology.

I'm not even mad at them. If it was that easy to finesse my way from impoverished to programmer I'd do it too.

The failure is with the tech companies who hire these people and offload all the real work on an ever shrinking pool of actually skilled laborers.

Just wait, she'll be given the lightest slap on the wrist known to man and she'll have a sob story movie made within 5 years about her as a hero.

The real story, of course, is how corrupt that entire fucking industry is. Of Holmes's guilt I have little doubt, but of her actually being charged and convicted I believe a lot of it comes down to the cartels making an example of the small time con artist.

I read a book about her and Theranos called, 'Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup'.

I don't know anything about the author but I enjoyed the book and it didn't seem like the author had an agenda. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in this sort of thing.

Cliff notes: She's guilty as hell. This wasn't a misunderstanding or anything like that.

Ubeam founder Meredith Perry basically followed a similar playbook. All blonde oestrogen and no clue, faking a lot of it.
