As another east-coaster, I feel comfortable saying there's a huge cultural difference in the industry between here and the west coast (and Silicon Valley specifically). It's a gap that's been growing wider for over a decade now.

It used to be that everyone followed the Microsoft/Apple culture nationwide (and before them โ€” IBM's). Then Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Silicon Valley startup culture took over the West.
