DC is for the most part a soul sucking environment. I grew up there and I moved to NYC. One thing that I noticed was, a hacker attitude plays much better in NYC than DC. Being rude and abrupt is tolerated if not respected in NYC (I'm talking about general life, non hacker circles), in DC saying things honestly and decisively is not a valued trait.
