Unrest in the Valley

The dictionary describes a "unicorn" as a mythical animal but in Silicon Valley it has become a voracious carnivore. Their description is a "start up" valued at least one billion that is poaching on established firms to recruit engineering talent rather than hire and train their own. They are all in a hurry and their aggressiveness is not confined to engineering talent as several chefs were hired away from Google's cafeteria. (For full disclosure let it be
 known that Google owns my blog.)
