Bottom line:
In SV people who make stuff are respected.
In NYC people who make money are respected.
Obviously this is not true 100% across the board, but anyone who has experienced both cities will immediately grok what I'm talking about.
- arach 15y agoPerhaps you are correct, but why worry about what others think of you? Find your people, enjoy life and make stuff.
- michaelpinto 15y agoThat sometimes true and you've hit the head on the nail in some cases -- but it also depends on what you're making. NYC really respects creatives -- be they actors or designers or writers in a way that you wouldn't see in the valley.In fact while Hollywood respects the hit making skills of creatives, I think NYC is unique in respecting creativity itself.
- ArbitraryLimits 15y agoI agree - NYC definitely respects flamboyantly creative people, who are just as interested in making their image as in making their art (for whatever value of art), but "hackers" don't really seem to fit that mould.
