  5. Ask HN: Is there any point to being in Silicon Valley for an engineer now?

    The atmosphere there of the last 10 years was incredible. Daily meetups, hackathons, endless networking events, game jams, conferences, hacker spaces, cool offices, likeminded people everywhere. But literally all of…
