The culture at HubSpot that Dan Lyons described in his article was kind of disturbing. It seemed as if HubSpot was spending as much, if not more, time and effort to convince their employees of the value of their narritive as their customers. They appear to use a lot of smoke and mirrors to distract from the fact that they're not selling anything other than themselves. I can't quite understand how they could be labled as a tech company if the foundation of their buisness model is marketing, not technology. It makes me appreciate the mission of Turing, insofar as its belief that diversity inspires inovation. This article also changed my mind about empathy in technology. Regardless of the effects a particular piece of technology may have in the future, creating it with empathy in mind doesn't seem like such a bad place to start.
