		icco on Feb 29, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The House Y Combinator Should Have Built Well, you do realize it is a hippie commune, just for people interested in building companies and cool technology. I mean, SF gave us hippies, and then it gave us silicon valley. Next step would be to have a silicon valley commune.

Haha, this is a good point. I guess the difference is that we'd be living in converted shipping containers instead of cabins in the woods.

SF didn't produce silicon valley.

Fred Terman and Bill Shockley did.
