"mid tech" is an interesting descriptor because I'm doing the much the same work as Silicon Valleyites despite not having a degree. Not having a degree has cut me off from some opportunities but I can just pursue those in my own time. I guess I find as I get older less value in the opinions of folks out in SV as I read more and more crazy things about the place and the environment out there. I do appreciate the opportunity for folks who love that environment to partake of it though. I also appreciate the functional advances coming out of SV like libraries and frameworks that I get to use and improve my own work but at the end of the work day I love getting home to my .25 acre lot with my two dogs glad to see me and go for a nice walk in a green-belt. I'm going to be dead some day so why not enjoy what I have.
