Silicon Valley Goes Hollywood

摘要

Max Nanis's website prominently features about two dozen head shots of the skinny, scruffy 22-year-old Southern Californian with his shirt off. At the top of his "About" page, there's a personalized contact number (936-CALL-MAX) and a link to 10X Management, his professional representation. It looks like the resume of an actor, seemingly pitched for casting directors and producers-but Nanis's background is in computational biology. He's a coder, part of a generation of programming hotshots starting to view themselves more like Hollywood talent than bit jockeys.
