Your former company is falling to pieces. No fault of yours, but you might have checked it out before you linked to it.

For clarification as to my comment.

The lie: I behave this way because of the place I live.

The truth: I am responsible for my behavior, regardless of where I live.

The fault, therefore, is not Silicon Valley, but the choices I make every day.

Finally, congratulations, you not only have a choice of how you behave, but you also enjoy the rare choice of being able to choose where you live.

Enjoy your choices. That's all I was trying to say. And I think Silicon Valley is a beautiful area, so don't knock it unless you have a legitimate gripe ;)
