Does anyone have the time to do a similar writeup for the tech scene in and around LA? I'm probably going to be doing the move from Boston-LA myself in just a few months.
Perhaps you should write that after you make the move. :) And even then it would be difficult.
As you likely already know, one thing sure to be on that list is "have a car". Which stems from the reason making such a list would be difficult. LA is so spread apart, what's true for someone on the westside isn't gonna ring as true for someone downtown, to south bay, to OC/irvine (if we're even counting OC/irvine).
lots of tech companies here in LA but due to the lay of the land and 30 mile commutes, they don't mingle as much.
