[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visit during the winter and see if you can handle it. I'm from CA and now live in DC area. The weather is my biggest regret.

As far as personality, there is a wide variety of people. It is a little more conservative here as far as workplace attitudes. [/quote]
I'm from CA.. lived there for 40 years. I can handle the DC area winter. It's the humid summers I can't handle.  You can bundle up in the winter, and now even wear a face mask without getting funny looks.  But what can you do in the summer? You can't shed your skin, though sometimes, I feel like doing exactly this in the summer.

[b]I do find that the east coast is much more into "what do you do" than the west coast[/b].[/quote]

Brogrammer culture has made West Coast “what can you do for my company?” It’s so mercantile now. [/quote]
well, that's like saying "here in DC it's "what agency do you work for".  Not everyone in DC works for the feds, and not everyone in CA is a programmer.  You have to be joking.   Most of the people I know in CA aren't programmers, and I lived there for 40 years.[/quote]

My point is that its still about work, which was PP was referring too.  California used to be more laid back.

And brogrammers aren’t really programmers, usually their rich frat boys who are into marketing and venture capital and dupe geeks to program for diluted shares.[/quote]
