Normally you'll only see that behavior if you eavesdrop at a coffee shop, visit some startup's office (not all are like this), end up working in a co-working space, or couch surfing at a hacker hostel of some sort (these are normally whipped together by 4+ people renting a giant house and trying to split rent). Visit the bay area, enjoy the good food. Find a way to head into any of the surrounding hills for a nice hike. Visit the computer museum. Have some coffee at the Philz on Middlefield Road. Enjoy your time there.
