> I've found it interesting how many people in the Bay Area, particularly veterans of the 90s boom, discount a lot of the ideas pushed by GitHub and 37signals

Then you can imagine how many people outside of the Bay area do the same thing. I've worked at places where I (stupidly) suggested some of their principles as solutions to systemic problems that came up, assuming that everyone would be on the same page (I mean their ideas just make sense right?) ... no way. I've gotten laughed out of the room a couple of times, wised up and am now resigned to the fact that unless I start my own company or join the founding core of a startup, I'll never get to apply those kinds of ideas unless I work in the Bay

Don't give up so quickly. Sneaking in good ideas into companies is a skill that takes time to learn, and even when mastered takes patiences to exercise.
