"Going to Silicon Valley? How to maximize the time you have."

My intention was to have people really question whether it is the right time for them to go. Anyone else think I should change that title? If so, I'm happy to experiment...

Is it ok to change a title after the link has been posted?

I think your connitation might be getting lost in translation

not sure if "don't waste your time" is an american idiom or not

it comes off as "don't bother" which I don't think is what you're trying to convey

It's a UK idiom too, I also misread the title & quite a bit of the article to mean 'Don't bother going to SV'. I thought it was a bit odd he gave a bunch of tips after saying don't go.

My first impression reading the title was "don't waste your time going there".
