I love Seattle, but the people spewing hate against techies gets me down, hard. I haven't really run into hostility outside of the anonymous ranting on reddit and the rude graffiti, etc.
Ha, small world. It's strange, because I don't even look like a typical "techbro" as people have been describing in this thread. Work/life balance is incredibly important to me. I have a large beard, my long hair is in a bun, I have tattoos on my arms. I moved to Fremont because the one friend I had here lived there.
Shoot me a private message, lets grab a bite or beer sometime.
People are so openly hostile I kinda stopped trying to talk to anyone. The "Die techie scum" graffiti all over doesn't really help either.
Seattle itself seems pretty nice. Its a shame this forced isolation is just going to lead to even bigger division.
Maybe we should hang out?
