Today I learned SF is not really considered part of Silicon Valley.
- thruhiker 8y agoI work in Seattle tech and would say generally that we use SF, Bay Area and SV interchangeably to refer to refer to both the Valley and City of SF combined.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoYeah. SF is definitely not the Valley, but from the outside, they are generally used interchangeably.
- JohnFen 8y agoI'm an old fart, so to me, "Silicon Valley" does not include SF. It's pretty much just the general San Jose region. That said, I also recognize that to people younger than I, SF is totally part of "Silicon Valley" and adjust my vocabulary accordingly.
- mercutio2 8y agoSilicon Valley is part of the SF Bay Area. People who don’t live here decided to conflate SV and Bay Area. At some point people just gave up on correcting people on where Silicon Valley is. Personally, I think of “the peninsula” and “Silicon Valley” as being the same things, but apparently some folks think anything north of Redwood City doesn’t count. Not much anyone can do about it, the name doesn’t actually map to a specific municipality.
