Grew up in a different "valley". The one in Nova Scotia, Canada. Got into computers because there was nothing else to do but tip cows. Moved to Vancover 4 years ago so I could ride downhill mountain bikes instead of tip cows. Love hacker news but I definitely can't contribute to the silicon valley cliche. Yet.
- panih2o 14y agoI am in the valley but thinking about moving to Vancouver, how's the industry there? Btw, I work in data infrastructure team doing so called 'big data' thingy, but I am all passionate about any kind of Databases.
- slajax 14y agoWhich valley? Vancouver has a good market and a great lifestyle. Toronto has a great market, but only a good lifestyle. I started my career in Toronto but now I lean more towards lifestyle so I moved here to balance it out.
