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.
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.
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?
