Last Night I Experienced Silicon Valley (blog.carlmercier.com)

cliffs: Silicon Valley is great because there are a lot of tech entrepreneurs to get advice from and share with.

This is actually almost exactly PG's reasoning on why Silicon Valley will always beat NY in his YCNYC speech. Including the random walk by of ron conway.

"If you are an entrepreneur outside of Silicon Valley and don’t visit the Bay Area on a regular basis, you are way behind."

Come on. There are successful entrepreneurs based all over the world. The Valley is not a requirement.

Thanks for sharing, I think the take away is that the SF Bay area manages to maintain a entrepreneur density that is high enough for these sorts of things to happen. Its important to remember that its a momentum thing, I believe that once you get past a certain tipping point there will be a bubbly pool of entrepreneurs, but there are things that can poison that reaction as well; things like non-compete agreements, tight/non-existent capital, and too much secrecy.

a very very interesting tagline. out of honest curiosity it occurred to me that tagline of this blog can mean many things: tagline: me = entrepreneur + hacker also implies me - entrepreneur = hacker me - hacker = entrepreneur do you agree that all three meaning are consistent to your context?
