You are so rare! Where did you grow up? I grew up with the lore of Microsoft, what was it like growing up with the companies of SV? It seems like there are/were so many more.
- jaytaylor 14y agoI grew up in Palo Alto (I count myself extremely fortunate to have been raised in such a wonderful place). I attended PALY highschool. Stanford was literally right across the street, so lots of kids took (and likely continue to) advanced mathematics courses over there. Google used to advertise in "The Campanille", the school newspaper (this was circa 1998-2000). These days I'm hanging out in Menlo Park at SendHub, and I look back on having worked for a number of small to medium sized startups all over the bay area. There are a few other people I know who have stuck around in tech and other things, but I'm perplexed that more people didn't stay here! I love it.
