Yeah what is a tech company? I here people in Bay Area saying they work in tech all time time. Uber is a transportation company not a technology company. If Uber is a tech company then American Airlines is a tech company too. Both have an app which will let you get on some form of transportation and get one place to another. Boston Dynamics is a technology company for example. They build robots for the sake of building robots and hoping to sell the technology.
- mrdrozdov 10y agoUber is definitely a tech company. They have internal software infrastructure that would rival any other, and attract similar talent as other tech companies. American Airlines is probably as much a tech company as Walmart is...
- yolesaber 10y agoI'm no fan of Walmart but they do have a research wing and open source contributions as well.
- mrdrozdov 10y agoYeah. You're absolutely right. I suppose working in "tech" is probably a more powerful distinction than working at a "tech company". For instance, if you work on the data science side of a political campaign, it's probably fair to say that you work in "tech".
- blaines 10y agoWalmart Labs is in San Bruno - I believe may also or formerly be in SF :)
