"Fred- my company PickAxe (consisting of me and my co-founder Kyle) try to solve this exact problem, by helping entrepreneurs show vs. tell. Help them build the "secret sauce" app quickly (2-1/2 wks). Totally agree with your paint points. After being recruited so many times as a CTO for equity, realized that entrepreneurs really just need to get their idea realized as a proof of concept, to get first customer, funding, or a CTO." - anna sauce

"very cool graph - and very nice to share the code!" - anna sauce

"Very true- especially "talk to management" something that nobody wants to do. And, seems like the more techie you are, the less you want to do it!" - anna sauce

"Thanks Peter! It's pretty exciting, on both accounts ;)" - anna sauce

"Thanks Amy! For both babies haha" - anna sauce

"Leanne, lovely to hear how it worked out from a successful mom :) BF is also in childcare and has a different schedule. It was one of our first concerns. My last startup- in no way was conducive to having a kid, the perks of having your own is so great." - anna sauce

"I grew up in the 80s in Cupertino- this is one of the most accurate descriptions of that area. Rich in "tech scholars" poor in trees, community, etc. We were aware, in my radical teenage years, of the serious contamination of the surrounding groundwaters near and in Sunnyvale due to Fairchild and other manufacturers. Great article. One point- difficult to view the current map with old places on it- for instance 85 wasn't present when Apple was on Mariani (technically Greenleaf)." - anna sauce

"Awesome post, thanks for writing. I'm also have a huge fear factor going into tech interviews, and agree that confidence is the #1 asset." - anna sauce

"Yeah, I was wondering that too. And the name was so obvious, no serious screening required there." - anna sauce

"No, the internet was for sharing science papers. Then, it was exploited for porn. Now, everyone uses it as an information source." - anna sauce

"There are a few women-focused funds, there are women in VC companies, but it's very low, and those women are sensitive to not being branded as investing in "only women-run companies." What I've found, too, is that they invest in women-as-consumer businesses, not necessarily women-owned or founded companies. One of the biggest diverse funding goes on by 500 startups founder Dave McClure, for race/age/gender, mostly because he's interested in disrupting markets, instead of always catering to the same ones." - anna sauce

"Awesome- thanks for writing, and so quickly. You're right, there are some really interesting, pressing and innovative projects out there. I think we've just saturated the "geekyboy" market. Time to move onto the 3rd world, environment, healthcare, etc." - anna sauce

"Nothing wrong with the folks on BART, it's fine for the majority of East Bay residents." - anna sauce

"What about opening up the private shuttles to the public? Overlay this map with a real public transit map, and you have a customer base demanding faster, more efficient routes to the south bay." - anna sauce

"Shuttles from Caltrain would reach all points- interested in the study, I guess. Also, better bike support on SF infrastructure would enable more end-to-end commuting to points south. Still, working in the south and living in SF is the real issue." - anna sauce
