Love this post. I agree with almost everything you wrote here. One thing I would respond to is the notion that tech industry workers are somehow inherently not creatives or artists. The best programmers and designers I know here are without exception creative, thoughtful people in many other areas of life. The ones who choose SF over the valley may trend even more in that direction.
- geebee 13y agoI didn't express that well. Some of the highly creative people who are displaced (or who never show up) are tech people. I'd even say some of the well funded tech stuff is interesting and creative as well. I always thought of tech the way you described it, as part of the slightly quirky and interesting culture.
