> ... I should move to silicone valley. Things seem much easier out there.

The repeated references in this thread to "silicone valley" and the context which suggest that that reference might not really be what is intended lead me to point out that "Silicon Valley" is a region in northern California so-called for the predominance of computing-related tech firms (from the role of silicon in computer chips) and "Silicone Valley" is (as well as a not-infrequent misspelling of "Silicon Valley") a common joking name for southern California's San Fernando Valley that is a play on northern California's "Silicon Valley" and on the SFV's concentration of firms in the adult entertainment industry.
