NYC isn't there yet, but there are so many intrinsic advantages it's just a matter of time. The biggest impediment is cultural. Most of the tech talent is very cautious and by the book. However this is changing. NYC Papers We Love is a great example of what the future holds... As is clojure.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoNYC will get there when they move the city to the west coast. There is something different about the west: wide open spaces, mountains, good weather, that you can't really replicate in the east.
- Bahamut 12y agoThe New York night life cannot be beaten in the US for many reasons. The sheer volume of people also means that people have a good chance of having good ties to NYC even when never having lived there. Love the weather out here in the Bay Area, but there is a part of me that will always miss NYC and the whole tri-state area (well, minus Long Island anyhow ;) ) - hell, the whole east coast in general.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoMany are either east coast persons or west coast persons. I know many easterners who hate living on the west coast, and vice versa. The question should really be: are many techies living on the west coast willing to become east coasters? I know many aren't native west coasters, but I still think a lot of them just like living on the west coast.
