Werd I was just curious. I think most of us on this forum had that pie in the sky idea of making games at one point.
I'd love to work at Blizzard but I'd have to divorce my wife to do it.

The bay area just does not interest me in the least. Not only the insane cost of living but I couldn't deal with the homeless and all that. Plus it just strikes me as pretense everywhere. Which may or may not be accurate.

Every area in the country has their own shit they have to deal with but CA does seem to have more than usual.

Tenks before you move make sure you watch San Andreas

Homeless problem is more a San Francisco problem and not a Silicon Valley problem.
I know someone who purchased a home in San Jose and she was told by the seller they won't let her do an inspection because it was a waste of time and money and they have multiple offers anyways. So she had to buy the house without an inspection because if not someone else would.

My assumption is she went through the same process my friend did (it's my friend's wife's sister) which is he took his home loan out as some loan against her father's assets. Her parents are loaded. So it wasn't a bank issued loan.

Bank just requires Appraisal. Not inspection.
It's very common to wave inspections in Arlington, MA and assume this is the case in any low-inventory location.

Interesting. How is it different from a re-finance?
My wife and I had put in offers for 2 houses where we waved it. I wonder if it has to do with PMI. (The realtor we are using won't even talk to people unless they are going to be putting down 20%+)

Homeless are in SF not in silicon valley, and you'd have no reason to live in SF.
Pretense? I'm not sure what you even mean, but I don't see how SF/SV would be any more or less pretentious than any other large city. Especially when considering places like LA or Miami or NYC which are superficial as FUCK and obsessed with status.

I think Portland is more the beer drinking, crunchy living type hipster crowd. Austin is the raw denim hipster type crowd.

Those places are every bit as pretentious, just in reverse, the status is appearing poor and natural no matter your wealth. The better you can approximate looking homeless 24/7, the higher your status is. It's comical but people are the same everywhere.

Look,
I'm the server/desktop guy--not a developer..But I work for a development company (IT in the DFW area? plz send resume)...We have like 4 layers of backup.
And I feel thats inadequate sometimes--There is 0 freaking reason why you should ever loose that much data, that far back. Thats what the shit backups are for.
Want me to come overhaul your shit into something resembling disaster recovery? You'll find my rates are extremely high and not worth it.
