I used to run a startup in Southern California so I know for a fact that there aren't too many technology companies down there (other than aerospace and entertainment). The good news is that workers don't tend to move around too much. Jason has done this before. I wonder if his company were in the Bay Area what would happen. I doubt that anyone will stick around to take his abuse. I know I won't.

As a New Yorker, I find Jason refreshing. Most of the tech community has been California-based, and has taken on the kind of casual, low-key California attitude, but if NYC becomes a more prominent area for startup growth, you're going to meet a lot more people like Jason, since the culture in NYC or even the Northeast is much more confrontational.

nothing to see here, move along.
