After working in the east coast for 7 years, working on big company software, i'm going full time remote and moving to the valley. I want to see if it really is the mecca for people passionate about software development and ideas in general. It is going to be hard, my big co stack isn't used much in the valley, and because of that i'm not sure how much my experience will count, so i'm going to essentially start from the ground up. I hope to find a "home" that i've never been able to find on the east coast.
