SV might be the place to go for networking, if you want to do a startup or work in one of the FAANGs or FAANG wannabes, but the idea that SV is the only place where people know what they are doing is completely laughable self-congratulating bunk. Actually, I've never seen a place with more cargo-culting than SV.

But of course it is the only place to be if you want to "change the world" with the next Earth-shattering break-through like Theranos or Juicero.
