you also risk getting caught up in the hype if you spend all your time in the valley
Or on YC news, Sam Odio... doesn't anybots give you enough work to do? ;)
I think Sam is still in Virginia. He's #2 in points because the robot sits on the computer and e-mails him stories all day.
The way I understand it, the robots like to browse open source hardware sites at night. They can afford to do this because YCombinator actually draws power from a transformer in the nearby subway system, that nobody has detected as of yet, because the only way to get to it is via a unicycle on a trapeze wire.
In the past, both robots were singularly responsible for two disparate California blackouts. Former television robot-turned Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, just turns his head. It will be interesting to see what happens this summer. (This is also why YCombinators Boston and Mountain View are located within 1 mile of the subway.)
On the other hand, you also risk getting caught up in the hype if you spend all your time in the valley.
