Comment F*ck california, its new york baby (Score 1) 1140
Everyone in the world knows this:
1) California is laid back
2) New York is where its at
There may be 2x the amount of IT workers in Cali (depending what you consider is IT) but NY works twice as hard. We are the ones pumping out this sick overworked culture. California is where you go to die, like Florida or Arizona or something.
So whereas that 90's silicon valley era may have created some cult like flocking to CA, NY has evolved IT into so many aspects of the workforce, its hard to define 'IT' jobs - most analyst jobs span from manufacturing, engineering to system administration. Its not uncommon for a guy on a workfloor here writing a perl script to scp data from a industrial AIX to get through a security audit requiring crypto vs cleartext. This is NY - this is where the innovation is, where people adapt and learn on the fly no matter what the domain is. IT is embedded in the culture of New Yorkers - F*ck california!!! What the hell is in California?!?! Screw CA. CA is a beautiful state that loves pointing out problems with the world, but they offer no solution to problems. New York solves the problems.
