Santa Cruz Tech Ecosystem
Ten Ways You Know You Work in Tech in Santa Cruz
by Sara Isenberg
Publisher, Santa Cruz Tech Beat
- You know who Margaret, Doug, Andrew, Jeremy, Sara, Sol, Chris and Peggy are.
- You’d rather code on your back porch than take the Apple bus over the hill each day.
- If you work at NextSpace you know what 3:58 means. If you work at Cruzioworks you know that “bounce hour” doesn’t happen on a trampoline. If you’re not a member of either, you’re at either place a few times a week anyway.
- If you’ve lived here long enough, you know that “ESS-EE-OH” is SCO not SEO, and you either once worked there, or had friends that worked there.
- Attending the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup is your favorite thing to do each month.
- You know the difference between Santa Cruz TechRaising, the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup, and Santa Cruz Tech Beat.
- Your App Dev manager’s wetsuit is drying outside of your IT building.
- An IP attorney pays for drinks at The Red.
- Traffic on 17 is not a problem you worry about.
- You wish you worked at Looker.
