South Bay is just like a giant company town, it’s actually pretty boring - 60% of people work at the same handful of giant companies, the other 30% work at a startup, and the last 10% serve the first group fair trade coffee.

The weather and climate are amazing, but socially its suffocating when everybody you meet is a variation on a tired theme.

> It's weird. They always travel in groups of five. These programmers, there's always a tall skinny white guy, a short skinny Asian guy, fat guy with a ponytail, some guy with crazy facial hair and then an East Indian guy. It's like they trade guys until they all have the right group.

And they all drive Teslas with vanity license plates.

People who work for startups can’t afford coffee?

This was funny and I meant to update it but instead down voted it and now can't find how to undo that. Sorry!

They have to make their own, and it’s not fair trade.

haha this, its great to try it, but like NYC, dont stay too long...

Yeah, its *super interesting* at first, but once the novelty fades you aren’t left with much.

That said, nowhere on earth had better driving directions on apps since people will notice the bugs on the drive into work and fix them. ;-)

What are you talking about, NYC is great! You could live your whole life there and never run out of things to do.
