I live south of Denver. I moved here from the East Bay 4 years ago due to cost of living. Tech jobs were highly competitive and I wasn't able to get a job that made it affordable to stay. So after 3 years in the Bay Area, I treked out to Colorado where my wife is from. I got a good programmer job about a year later. In Denver there's a whole area called the "Tech Center", and there are quite a few startups in Downtown. I've heard a lot about Boulder and the tech community up there, but it's way too far away for me to look for work up there. Plus, there's a lot to do around here all year round. (Side note, I also lived in Provo for 5 years and SLC for 1)
