I live in Hawaii. I've found that even though most companies are used to working across Pacific through Eastern time zones, they still want me to be online earlier, even though they don't expect someone in California to be online for an East coast morning. It feels unfair.
And you're right, it's definitely a tech wasteland here. And the predominant culture of locals and hippies is anti-intellectual. But it's great to live near the ocean, hiking trails and one of the safest places in the US (if you're not directly in Honolulu)
- krageon 6y ago> anti-intellectual What does this mean to you?
- triyambakam 6y agoIt means people don't value curiosity, don't care for science or anything that requires intellectual rigor. You'll never be able to host any kind of technical meetup here, no one would care to come. At least on the outer islands, maybe in Honolulu on O'ahu you could.

- triyambakam 6y agoThanks I didn't know about that!
