OK, I'll stop you right there. Silicon Valley is its own Private Idaho when it comes to tech employees having any sort of street-cred or respect. Outside that bubble, things are radically different. And since Silicon Valley is only a couple hundred square miles out of the entire land-mass of the US, let alone the planet, it is NOT a sound basis for comparison. :-) You're right, I've lived there, I'm sure many others list-members still do, and it can be a really great environment (if it wasn't so blasted expensive), but it doesn't reflect the normative respect level throughout the rest of society, unfortunately.
