The New York Times seems to have discovered that there's some kind of tech boom going on, as a couple of breathless articles about Silicon Valley startups and rock-star stock analysts appeared this weekend.
The articles read a lot like they were written in 1999 -- we've got the huge salaries, the amazing perks (free haircuts!), the wacky startup pitches, the zany parties.
No question -- tech is a good business to be in, especially in Northern California.
But despite the superficial similarities between now and 1999, there's really no comparison. This time, it really is different.
Let's count the ways.
