Episode 008 - A Shot of Silicon Valley

Working in Silicon Valley is very unique. We work in a bubble, immersed in technology. There are billboards about frameworks, technology, and gadgets. Coffee shops are filled with people on Macbooks covered in stickers. Conversations on the train, coffee shops and on the streets are about programming languages. There’s a unique culture from other places we’ve all lived. In this episode, we share our thoughts and experiences living and working in Silicon Valley.
