but is it a good thing? even if you're an engineer.

  Its a good thing if you are a well rounded human being and an engineer. There is no shortage of opportunities for an engineer in NYC - Google, Facebook, Spotify, Twitter, Etsy, Thoughtworks, Pivotal Labs and on and on on. Yes, you can be an engineer and meet people who do other things with their professional lives.

    Oh, I wasn't talking about NYC. It was regarding 'tech is the scene' description. Sounds like a hell and I'm an engineer.

      I did it for two years; it became my own little personal idea of hell. Never going back.

  Ha. Yeah. I went to a tech talk that an ex-Tumblr engineer gave, he left New York and Tumblr for a job in SV with Facebook. He was talking about his new home and said something to the effect that "it was really strange to be in line at the grocery store and here the people in back of him talking about Redis." Ha ha ha.
