I think you're so right about that. I can definitely imagine just about all of us overestimate our own tolerance. Something to definitely consider. I recently had a chance to see the Dalai Lama during his visit to Atlanta, and he talked a lot about the benefits to us of actively practicing compassion. Something that probably most of us, including me, don't do enough of day to day.

Yeah, I was surprised about that, too! But a fun mini-project, and shows what banding together can do. Perhaps the best result is writing that post got me to surface from a ton of work I've been doing, and get onto HN! I can pretty quickly tell that there are some awesome people here.

I'd love to see these for a variety of cities. One way to put one together for New Orleans: reach out to other tech people you know there, and collaborate. That's what I did for Atlanta, and I got a much richer set of pros & cons than I would if I had done it independently. The little bit of time spent eliminating dupes and organizing it thematically, was well worth it. If you write one for NOLA, do let me know, and I'll link to it.

I'd also love to see one for Austin, TX. And one for NYC.
