Edit: To think of it, is this just with SF Bay startups?

It's just a guess, but I'd say there's a good chance of that. I mean, I'm on the East Coast, and from what I read on here about SF / Bay startups, I get the feeling that a lot of things here are less competitive, less hyberbolic, more relaxed, etc.

Which is ironic in a sense I guess, since traditionally it was the West Coast were people were considered more chill, laid back, etc. But in terms of the startup scene, I feel like that may be a bit backwards. It's hard to say though.
