I do wish they’d stop insisting that it’s “Bay culture” writ large, because that’s a bad conceit to give the rats. You might not get in on the A gold rush, but there’s plenty of ”normal” people not partaking in all this.

“Silicon Valley” culture is a pretty common way to describe specifically Bay Area tech culture. Far as I can recall I haven’t been claiming the entire Bay Area is into this stuff (and I mean, I have a Stanford master’s degree and have spent a lot of time in the area, I know)
